Visakhapatnam: Demonstrating the values of kindness and selfless service, Class X students of Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar lent a helping hand to 400 persons with mental health conditions on Sunday.

As part of the ongoing birth centenary celebrations of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Class X students visited the Government Hospital for Mental Care and organised a special service programme aimed at bringing happiness to those suffering from mental health conditions.

Accompanied by 10 teachers, who guided and supervised the initiative, the students distributed essential daily-use items, including soaps, coconut oil, fruits, biscuits and cakes to all 400 persons undergoing treatment at the hospital.

The Class X students also served meals and spent quality time with them.
