Valentine’s Day is here – a day\u00a0when people rush to declare their love, or despair about their singlehood. The tradition of celebrating your love has moved from just one day and now a whole week is dedicated to celebrating your love for your near and dear ones. It is now very common to see people gifting each other large\u00a0presents to demonstrate their love.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

But what happens to those who no longer have someone to love, someone to call their own? They no longer have someone to love, and neither do they receive love.\u00a0 Wishes and Blessings set out to redefine Valentine’a Day, and extend the circle of love.<\/p>\n

The Wishes and Blessings old age home, Mann ka Tilak, is home to many elderly women. Many of our ammas\u00a0<\/em>have been abandoned by their families and loved ones. Thrown out of their home, they only have memories of families that ended up betraying their own blood. At Mann ka Tilak, they find a new community, family and home to call their own. However, one can never have too much love, and Wishes and Blessings is determined to give these ammas<\/em> all the love and care they deserve.<\/p>\n

Blogarity<\/h3>\n

To start the week of love on an exciting note, Wishes and Blessings held its first ‘Blogarity’ at Mann ka Tilak on 2nd February. Blogarity was a fun amalgamation of blogging and charity wherein bloggers were invited to interact with the ammas<\/em> and build new memories that would last for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

\"Participants<\/a><\/p>\n

Participants of Blogarity had an amazing time with our ammas. They learnt about the dismal situation of abandoned elderly in India, and how Wishes and Blessings is making a difference. A fun activity was organised for a wholesome interaction between the bloggers and the ammas<\/em>. The bloggers drew outlines of the ammas<\/em>‘ hands and then decorated them with the ammas<\/em>‘ favourite things. The day ended with lots of hugs and blessings from the ammas, and the bloggers left with full hearts and a bank full of unforgettable memories.<\/p>\n
