Recreational Activities
Banchbo Healing Touch Foundation organises Annual Special Recreational Tour exclusively for its elderly members, creating moments of joy, companionship, and rejuvenation. These tours are thoughtfully planned to provide senior citizens with a refreshing break from daily routine while encouraging social bonding, emotional wellbeing, and active ageing. Filled with sightseeing, cultural experiences, fun activities, music, laughter, and shared memories, the annual tour becomes a celebration of life, togetherness, and care — reflecting the Foundation’s commitment towards holistic elder care and healthy ageing.
Poila Boishakh Celebration
Banchbo Healing Touch Foundation (BHTF) organizes the Poila Boishakh Celebration every year to welcome the Bengali New Year with its elderly members in an atmosphere of warmth, joy, and togetherness. The programme typically includes cultural performances, traditional music, recitation, festive greetings, interactive games, quizzes, and refreshments. Members actively participate by showcasing their talents, sharing memories, and exchanging New Year wishes.
The celebration plays a significant role in promoting emotional well-being among senior citizens by reducing loneliness, encouraging social interaction, and preserving Bengali cultural heritage. It provides an opportunity for elderly members to reconnect with friends, strengthen community bonds, and begin the New Year with optimism, dignity, and renewed enthusiasm.
Bijoya Sammilani
The Bijoya Sammilani is another important annual social and cultural event organized by BHTF following Durga Puja. The programme brings together elderly members, their families, volunteers, and well-wishers to celebrate the spirit of Bijoya through cultural performances, greetings, interactive sessions, and fellowship over refreshments.
The event serves as a meaningful platform to foster social inclusion, emotional support, and companionship among senior citizens. By encouraging interaction, cultural participation, and the exchange of blessings and goodwill, Bijoya Sammilani helps alleviate social isolation and promotes active ageing. It reinforces BHTF's commitment to enhancing the quality of life of older adults by creating opportunities for recreation, cultural engagement, and strong community relationships.
