“This reminds us of the vital role older persons play as intermediaries between the past, the present and the future; of the veritable lifeline

they provide in society.

Without the knowledge and wisdom of the old, the young would never

know where they come from or where they belong. But in order for the old to have a shared language with the

young, they must have the opportunity to continue learning

throughout life.”
