Why We Also Work With Senior Citizens?
In today’s world with the improved health and nursing care, the average healthy lifespan of a person is expected to extend beyond 80-85 years. So when people retire at around 60 they are still young enough with many years of productive and active life ahead. They have wealth of experience to share; they have mature ideas which they know will work but for some reasons never tried and explored; they have the time too. This is also the time when the rat race to earn and save is more or less over, the family is settled, there is maturity of thought & action and a desire to self-actualize. If these active 20-30 years can be used to selflessly work for the society
and/or do the things one feel for, a lot can be achieved, both on personal as
well as social front. Only an initial effort and direction is required. Anything
which has not been achieved till now can be tried and achieved by the senior
citizens with minimum risks and stakes. |
