Purpose of the
The knowledge and experience of
the honorable senior citizens is an asset to the country in developing and
guiding the young generation. There are lot of retired qualified and
experienced senior citizens in the country at present. The numbers will grow in
future. If we don’t try to utilize this knowledge pool it will be a waste of
valuable resources.
According to the statistics the
population above the age of 60 years in Sri Lanka was 2.5 million in 2012 and
it will increase to 3.6 million in 2021 and it will further increase.
We hope to work with the senior
citizens in the age range of 55 – 80 years who have retired from their full
time positions. After retirement most of these senior citizens relax in life
without much responsibilities.
Through our organization the
senior citizens will be invited to volunteer to serve the youth population to
succeed in life. It will be a good option for senior citizens allowing them to
spend the spare time in an effective manner. This will also facilitate the mental
wellbeing of this elders group as well. In the meantime the organization will
try to pay the elders for the voluntary work allowing them to earn some income.
In today’s world the youth is
involved in many unhealthy activities such as using drugs, liquor, robberies,
illegal income generating methods etc. If our senior citizens can educate youth
on the negative consequences of those bad behaviors and rescue them it would be
a great favor to the society.
Through the knowledge,
experience and the expertise of the honored senior citizens the youth can learn
a lot and start to rise on their own, turning their lives to a better direction.
Senior citizens can pass their
technical and professional knowledge and experience to the youth with the
purpose of making their lives better. Hence senior citizens will be able to
serve the country through facilitating the young population.
