Speaking on the occasion, Principal of the school Grace Noronha said that such a programme had been organised to understand the culture and tradition of grandparents all over the world.
“Being a grandparent is a big job. But they raised your parents; therefore have a lot of experience. They are the hex of homes and a source of wisdom. We need to respect them and shower them with love and gratitude throughout their lives”, she said.
Clemencia D'Couto said that around children, every day was Grandparents Day, as they were a source of joy and laughter. Being a grandmother of nine children herself, she said that she enjoyed the experience and thanked God for the gift of grandchildren.
Many games were organised for those grandparents among the audience. As many as 20 elders took part in games like “Finding the slippers” and “Odd man out”. Mohini Shetty, a grandmother of 12, was given a prize gift for having the highest number of grandchildren among the group.
Little children of Gonzaga School entertained the audience with song and dance.
International Grandparents Day is observed on September 9 each year.
