Belmore Boys High School joined Brothers in Need, a Muslim not-for-profit organisation based in Australia, in visiting the residents of Gallipoli Nursing Home in Auburn in May.
Part of our mission is that we try to act as, “A family for Australia’s forgotten”. I’ve always loved that part of our mission, and try to remember it as much as I can do whilst working and volunteering for Brothers in Need.
I really enjoyed meeting the students from Belmore Boys High School. They were thoughtful and polite. I think that they enjoyed the visit, and it was eye-opening for them to see residents from our community inside a nursing home.
“We don’t often think of nursing homes or the elderly community…being there reminds me of my parents, who have always been so kind to me, and where I myself may end up. Life really is short, isn’t it?”says Dahlia, a staff member.
She further added, “The door is always open to do good….we should encourage our youth to never hesitate to do a good deed.”
Enquiries for school students can be directed to 1300-007-433 or info@brothersinneed.org.au.
