I've driven by this building many times during my own mother's last years. Delighted to learn about the intergenerational program!

Intergenerational interaction brings immense vitality to older adults. When children and seniors spend time together, the mutual benefits transform lives.

The joy of interaction with different generations. Gifts of one day, this day. Joy doubled. "Come when you can." understanding that this celebration doesn't happen every day, but why not more often.

The innocence of the children as to the joy they were bringing their elders. No boundaries of ageism for them.
So much joy being shared. Very beautiful.

I loved my grandparents and spent many hours with them as I was growing up. In fact, my maternal grandparents lived with us for many years. There are so many great memories and feelings associated with this time in my life. I still share many of the stories that I was told with others. When my husband and I had the opportunity to take his mother and father into our home we welcomed that experience. The positive influence that the older generation has on the younger generation, and the effervescence of youth that children share with the older generation is priceless. My children will carry the memories of their grandparents with them for their lifetime. All these experiences were blessings to me and to my entire family.

OK, now that I've composed myself, I remember a Haitian proverb that says 'if you didn't know how old you are how old would you be?' The simplicity of real needs are more apparent with the very old and very young and the people in the middle owe it to them to provide for those needs. Love and compassion are at the top of that list, I'd say. That stat that went by in the video said in 25 years the number of people 65 and older will double...that includes me...and maybe you, too.

I live in a retirement community and while I am 67 I have met many active people in their 90's. Some would so benefit from having a pre-school here.

in the Circle of Life...it is natural...
the question and the challenge is how and now?!!

together and only together will we be able to make it happen...a life without regret.
in the eyes of a child....what's stopping you?

in harmony a way of life

I feel very sad after watching this trailer.
My dad is 72 and mam 65,they both are healthy strong and most important wise.
When I was growing up he would always tell me that we are here to help each other to become fully happy and satisfied in all needs personalities.When I was getting married they split the land and gave us full support in building our new home.Because of them I know that I need them around for my children to grow up fully happy and satisfied in all needs personalities.
Right now I do not have what they have,they are super heroes and us me and my wife want to become one day too.

What an awesome model. What great potential for love, inspiration, wellness - all good things.

Beautiful. Great to see this... simply love

Amazing. Joy and tear-filled. It brings the entire circle of life into focus. Important work. I will pass this along
