A Journey of Joy, Care, and Connection 🌿
Kawtha Koi Foundation recently organised a heartwarming trip for senior citizens to Kalimpong, Tinchuley, and Darjeeling—a journey specially curated for those who cannot travel alone. Surrounded by hills, fresh air, and shared laughter, our elderly members experienced not just a change of place, but a deep sense of togetherness.
From leisurely walks and quiet moments of reflection to animated conversations and shared meals, the trip helped nurture bonds, build trust, and rekindle the simple joy of travel. Many of our seniors returned with shining eyes and one common request: “We want to go again.”
At Kawtha Koi Foundation, we believe that companionship, care, and meaningful experiences are essential at every age. This journey was a small step towards creating a world where no one feels left behind—and every bond grows stronger with every shared mile. 💛
