In a bid to give back to the community, students of Sullivan Heights Secondary School in Surrey recently visited seniors at PICS Assisted living facility, spending time with them, listening to their stories and presenting them with gifts. The students spent quality time with each senior sitting with them and listening to their stories. They presented the seniors with carefully packed gifts which were bought with contributions from their own personal allowance.
“I commend the students of Sullivan Heights Secondary School for taking time out to be with our seniors. Visits like these increase the interaction between the older and younger generations and as a result they are able to better understand each other,” said Charan Gill, CEO PICS. The students were briefed about levels of senior care and programs available to help seniors and were given a tour of the facility as well. Sharing their experience at the facility the students said they were touched by the warmth with which they were received and happy that they were able to bring smiles on the faces of the seniors. The students received many blessings from the seniors who thanked them for spending time with them and for bringing them gifts as well.
