The lady is a native of Karavaram Panchayath (name and photos are withheld to protect her privacy). She is living alone in an old and decayed hut. She has practically no one there to look after her, even though there are some close relatives staying nearby. The students of the fifth standard learned about her from one of their classmates. They planned a visit to her house, but later decided to invite her to the school so that all the students can take part in the activity.
Teachers spoke on the occasion about the need to show special care and concern to old people staying alone.The students are planning to invite the lady for their Onam celebrations.
In this age, where even the rich and highly educated people abandoning the older members of the family, albeit in architect-designed houses, this experience will be a great lesson to the Mevarkal LPS students. It will be worth more than anything they learn from textbooks.
