<p>That is exactly what attracted our attention one time during our SALT visit to an older persons home, as we were discussing we observed two young boys were attentively listening to our conversation but with out participating in the talking. One of us decided to engage them in a conversation but mainly about what they were doing. When we went back to the office on reflection we realized that we are living out important link on issues of older persons - those young people.</p>

<p>That is exactly what attracted our attention one time during our SALT visit to an older persons home, as we were discussing we observed two young boys were attentively listening to our conversation but with out participating in the talking. One of us decided to engage them in a conversation but mainly about what they were doing. When we went back to the office on reflection we realized that we are living out important link on issues of older persons - those young people.</p>
<p>So we decided to get their views through essay competitions. We asked them to write about their role in regard to older persons within their communities. They generated very good ideas some of which we shall soon post on our website.</p>
<p>One was reading as follows;</p>
<p><b><i>An example an essay written by a Senior two student of Entebbe SSS – Namirembe Shabilah</i></b> :</p>
<p>"The youths act as a source of labour to the elderly. They help in building for them good homes. The role of youths to older persons is to help the elderly in house hold chores like cooking, washing, fetching water, farming and going to shops. The youths are supposed to provide security to the elderly by protecting them from bad people who can abuse them like thieves, rapists, and drug and alcohol addicts among others. The youths are suppose to work hand in hand with the elderly to instill good morals and discipline among the young ones by being morally upright hence exemplary so as punishing the young ones who deviate from the set morals. The employed youths should provide basic needs like food, water, shelter, and medical care for the elderly so as their other financial needs. The youths are supposed to assist in settling family disputes such as land wrangles among the elderly. The youths are supposed to educate the elderly who didn’t have a chance to go to school"</p>
<p>Another interesting activity we have done is to bring the older and the young in the same learning environment about Income Generating Activities; The young and old worked in groups, it was very interesting to see, the older persons felt included, enhanced their self esteem and the young appreciated the old as still useful</p>
<p>I will be happy to work with you.</p>
<p>Together we can make a difference.</p>
<p></p>
