Aging in Community Project in Sri Lanka

After one year of preparation time, we are going back to Sri Lanka. We have a better idea about what is happening for aging in Sri Lanka now, and hoping to learn more and work together to make this project in practice this time.

Because of the political/social situation in Sri Lanka, we are not able to stay long. However, we are planning to accomplish our agenda to have:

     - participatory design process with local elders
     - meeting with government official and NGO respresentatives
     - finalizing the fund raising strategies
     - developing Architectural design plan and complete the bueget estimate for the construction cost with local architects

We still have long way to accomplish our mission to complete this project, but we are thrilled to pursue this challenge because we also strongly believe that this pilot project will provide us the great opportunities to start serious discussions about housing and care issue for elders in the global level at least with the people around us….

I will have more update for our project as we move forward….
