Volunteer work at Missionaries of Charity

At the 10 of November we started to do volunteer work at Missionaries of Charity. Two of us chose to do volunteer work at Nirmal Hriday also called Kalighat home, a home for sick and dying people organized by Mother Teresa. The reason of choosing this home was because of the subject that we are going to write about in our bachelor Teases.

The most of the volunteers gathered at Mother House in the morning and they eat breakfast together. Every day at five in the morning the volunteers could join the mass. Here we found other volunteers that also where going to Nirmal Hriday. From Mothers House we took the bus number 45 B to Kalighat Road. When we reached to Kalighat Road we walked for about five minutes. At the Nirmal Hriday, there is sisters and massi working.

The first thing we did when we came to Nirmal Hridiay was to wash clothes. The patients changed clothes every day. After washing clothes the patients had different activated, for example drawing, having physiotherapy, walking or getting massage depending on which day it was. After the activities the patients got two bisects and one glass of water.

At 10:30 the volunteers had a break where they got tea (chai) and snacks as banana and bisects on the top floor. During the break we got opportunity to talk with other volunteers and get to know them little more.

At 11:00 it was lunch time for the patients and after the lunch we did the dish, while the massi helped the patients to the bed. After the dish the volunteers where of duty.
