Invitation
We will be talking to many elders as well as scholars who specialize aging in Sri Lanka next ten days, and I thought that it might be a terrific idea to integrate your questions into our interview process. I would like to extend my invitation to all of you to have opportunities to directly ask aging related questions to the people in Sri Lanka . I will be delighted to ask your questions (or obtain appropriate information) and post the feedbacks in this blog.
I appreciate if you could post your questions and suggestions in the comment section. I can also be reached by my e-mail. I am looking forward to hearing from you!!
Who are the primary caregivers for frail Elders?
Do multiple generations live together?
Do people outside the family help care for frail Elders?
Have a great visit and learn much to help us on our journey.

The Eden Alternative (Comment this)
Thank you for your comment! I had such a wonderful (and busy) trip to Sri Lanka. The most interesting thing was that "culture of Institution takes over the existing culture of respcting elders." While elders are higly respective in Sri Lanka, they are treated almost as individuals with problems in institutional settings. I was thinking about what I have learned from the Eden principles throughout this trip.
Though this experience, I developed more appreciation for the Eden and the people who are dedicated to change the life of elders!
