  • Seva

    • Frequent Seva at home for the elderly: the youth visit the elderly home every week and help them during their breakfast and lunch. They engage them with small talk and going for walks in their neighborhood.

    • During important days like Christmas and Mother’s Day, the youth team up with devotees to celebrate these events in a special way in the elderly home by starting with special breakfast, singing Christmas songs and old famous Dutch songs and ending with a small token of love to each resident of the home. The elderly home consists of about 60 residents.
