Devejop a buddy system between seniors and young people to expand socialism and activities. The senior population have a lot of knowledge, experience and wisdom to share. Can share their extensive experience and knowledge with technology. This can be a rewarding opportunity for both sides. The buddy system can be organized through a church or a senior health center.
