Reflections:

I had the unique opportunity to meet Mr. Bal Krishna at a municipality event related to stakeholders and the aging of citizens. I am grateful for his generosity in visiting his hometown Thecho to learn more about the community events he has going on there to support people age in place.  I found his work unique as he is trying to educate older adults to do more preventative health work to improve care outcomes. He has three specific books that are for people with certain ages to document blood pressure, sugar, and oxygen levels, and see when certain changes begin over time. Many of these older adults do not have access to a doctor and his organization supports them being connected with a doctor. Again, they are being the enablers to support these individuals to age in the community and connect them with allied health professionals. 

Objectives:

• To promote health and wellness, active and productive ageing through promotion of volunteerism among senior citizens in particular.
• To promote age friendly environment.
• To provide Senior Citizen with information, services, and referrals to local agencies and their services.
• To co-ordinate with the government and other national and international organization for the promotion of senior citizens’ wellbeing.
• To encourage all organized elements of the community to be concerned with and to cooperate in programs related to senior citizens.
• To serve as a medium through which groups and organizations can exchange information, co-ordinate programs and engage in joint endeavors to serve the Senior Citizens
• To meet the growing demands for access to quality health care, including long term care for the senior citizen.
• To study needs and problems of the Senior Citizen in Thecho and to seek solutions.
• To establish sustainable system of social protection to guard against poverty in old age.
