Sadly, with urbanisation and westernisation, the traditional respect enjoyed by the elderly is being eroded. There are no day care facilities or meeting places for them apart from informal bars or shebeens and many are severely neglected.

Our elders circle meets daily in the community centre for recreation, socialising and taking part in workshops. Many of the women can crochet and knit. People who have skills to teach exercise classes for the elderly and other such useful classes will be very welcome.
