In a heartwarming display of social responsibility, students from the Near East University Vocational School's Hair Care and Beauty Services Department extended a caring touch to the elderly residents of Lapta Nursing Home. The initiative, which took place during Elderly Week, aimed to uplift the spirits of the elderly and promote their well-being.
The students organized a motivational activity that went beyond traditional visits, offering free beauty treatments such as haircuts, dyes, and hand and foot care to the residents of Lapta Nursing Home. This thoughtful gesture not only enhanced the physical well-being of the elderly but also contributed to their emotional and mental welfare.
Assist. Prof. Dr. Yeşim Üstün Aksoy, the Head of Hair Care and Beauty Services at Near East University Vocational School, highlighted the importance of creating a peaceful and happy environment for the elderly. She expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to bring joy to the residents of Lapta Nursing Home, emphasizing the duty of loyalty to the well-being of elders.
This visit to Lapta Nursing Home is part of the ongoing commitment of Near East University Vocational School Hair Care and Beauty Services Department to social responsibility. The students have previously organized similar activities, showcasing their dedication to making a positive impact on various segments of the community.
The event not only provided valuable practical experience for the students but also fostered a sense of empathy and compassion among them. The elders, in turn, enjoyed the pampering and attention, creating a meaningful connection between the younger generation and the elderly.
The students' efforts serve as an inspiring example of how education and compassion can come together to make a positive impact on communities and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable future.
