CROSS-GENERATION ADVENTURE

them develop empathy and respect for
the elderly through activities aimed at

by senior citizens. Exercises saw them

trying to cope with impaired eyesight
and decreased manual dexterity. Another
day was spent in fellowship with senior
citizens in a local holiday camp developing
sensitivity and relationships between
senior and younger Hong Kongers.
