The
year 2013's Ramzaan day fell on 9th August. 53 AICUFers from the
college went to Home of Hope, located in Doddagulli village, in the outskirts
of Bangalore.
AICUF
always aims to empower people to take up leadership roles in bringing about
positive social change and in providing solidarity to the marginalized. Sharing
a day with the people in Home of Hope by listening to what they had to say,
dancing and singing for and with them gave us an opportunity to realize the
pathetic conditions of the life they live. An eye-opening experience where we
learnt to count each moment as it comes. This visit inculcated in us a larger
sense of understanding the problems of the poorest of the poor and the rejected
people in our society. This experience challenged us to more responsible as
members of the society. After interacting with them, an old woman of 70’s said
to an AICUFer, “My child, give me a hug...” She shed tears, after receiving an
embrace. AICUFers donated the clothes, packets of salt, sugar, and toilet
articles collected from the donation kept in different buildings of the
college.
