This event recognized the invaluable role of grandparents in our lives and promoted intergenerational bonding. The day was filled with love, gratitude, and appreciation for the elderly. It reminded us of the wisdom and experience they share with us, enriching our lives. Such celebrations foster a sense of unity and respect for the elderly, making society a better place for everyone.
