Every month, SSIO volunteers, including many Young Adults and Sai Spiritual Education (SSE) students from the southeast Denver Sathya Sai Centre, spend time with the elderly residents of the Manor Care Health Home in Denver, Colorado. Each month, the volunteers pick a theme to celebrate with the residents. In February 2019, 15 volunteers celebrated Valentine’s Day at the home with love-themed cards and gift boxes. It was a joyful occasion with the message, “Love All, Serve All,” richly experienced by all. During the gathering, it was a wonderful opportunity for the SSE children to closely interact with the elders, playing musical instruments, and conveying their heartfelt love by reading Valentine’s Day cards. The elders were also inspired to create cards and share them with each other. A highlight of the day was the presence of the caretakers of the facility joining in the festivities and voicing their gratitude to the volunteers for their efforts to make the elders happy.
