This day celebrates and cherishes the elderly in our society and teaches the younger generation the irreplaceable value of elders.

Students and staff were warmly welcomed by the senior citizens at the Family Gathering Centre. They celebrated the 43th National Day with the elderly and enjoyed reliving the old days through stories and poems.

Student Affairs Department stresses that this celebration is a reminder that the entire community unites together to uphold and cherish the spirit of love and affection that we have always received from our elders. What we are doing is a simple gesture of our gratitude for the years of love and care we get from them.

Gifts and token of appreciations were distributed amongst them, it was a sheer pleasure to see beautiful smiles on their faces and their eyes lit up with patriotic spirit for the country as “Ayishi Biladi” was celebrated.
