Working with seniors is fulfilling, says M² Community Association
Games and fun activities promote active aging.
There are lots of ways you can do your bit to help elderly people in your community. On the local front, one organisation which holds monthly meetings for senior citizens at the Marburg Library activities room is M² Community Association.
Chairman Dinesh Pillay said many senior citizens are unable to get to functions and socialise with other seniors due to frailty, poor health or household responsibilities, but they are still in need of support and companionship. “After several years of working with our seniors, we have established educational programmes, games and fun activities in our monthly meetings that promote active aging within our community,” explained Mr Pillay.
He pointed out that, in this safe environment, seniors receive a hearty lunch, have their health monitored as well and take part in exercise and wellness programmes.
