Grandfathers celebrate Fathers day at Exwel Trust
WORLD FATHER’S DAY
CELEBRATED BY GRAND FATHERS
Father's Day is a day honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. It is celebrated on the third Sunday of June in 55 countries and on ther days elsewhere. It complements Mother's Day, the celebration honoring mothers. It is a widely known celebration.
On the eve of FATHE’S DAY, on 3rd Sunday of Jun 2010, our EXWEL trust, invited about 20 Octogenarian Veterans for observing the day’s function. 18 of the invitees attended the Day’s celebrations. They were all happy recalling their olden days in civil and military life and shared their present state of life. It was really a good and lively gathering. All the participants were ALL GRAND FATHERS. (Having number of sons, daughters, grand sons & grand daughters, grand grand sons and grand grand daughters.)
It was heartening to see that most these men were accompanied by their grand daughters and grand sons. They say their sons are too busy therefore they could not accompany them. Whatever it may be, the meeting gave a wide impression that these aged men are not really happy. Not even a single son appeared in the meeting to praise his father. It does not mean that they are neglecting them. This is the present environment that is forcing such a life. Therefore the elders should understand and seek a peaceful life.
The trend of children at present and in future was discussed in length and each one of the participants was in the opinion that an OLD AGE home is a must and and it has taken a momentum in the recent days. We all deliberated on the feasibility of starting an old age home in our area. The elders requested our Welfare Trust to take initiative in this direction. Then, all agreed to celebrate every year on these FATHERS DAY and exchange our views and the change of environments. All the Fatherly ESMs were served with snacks. The Day’s celebration concluded with vote of thanks by our Chief Admin.Officer Hony.Flt.Lt.Natarajan(Retd) and all of them disbursed with a joy of spending a peaceful and enjoyable few hours on this day
OLDEN DAYS ARE GOLDEN DAYS
TODAY IS NOT SO
TOMORROW ?
TOMORROW'S HAPPINESS IS
IN OUR HANDS
LET US JOIN TOGETHER
AND WORK FOR IT.
GIVE US A HELPING HAND.
GIVE US A HELPING HAND.
