On Sunday 10 November, Nalanda Teenage Dhamma School facilitators and students visited Bodhi Homecare in Cheras as part of their Karuna Project, which encourages students to turn compassion into action. The visit provided students with an opportunity to connect with the resident children and offer meaningful assistance.
During the visit, students joyfully offered their service as well as donated food and essential supplies to the home, fostering a positive and supportive environment for the residents. This experience helped students develop empathy and a sense of social responsibility, highlighting the importance of giving back to the community.
