We strive to raise awareness of intergenerational connection and establish a custom of respecting and caring for seniors among younger generations. We will solve many senior-related social issues such as social isolation and the generation gap, if we get to the root of the problem. Encouraging the custom of youth engagement and respect for seniors is the solution. If we can instill these values in our youth, the issue of senior isolation will disappear.
