PTA Projects - Care/Saathi | Elder Care Project
Securing Parents Care
Life is beautiful! If you take it in the true sense, it is an enjoyable time on Earth. Often, we think that
childhood through adulthood is only enjoyable, but not life after 50-60 years which is referred to as "Old
Age".
Old age has its own nuances. The first issue is HEALTH. If we don't take care of it, you will start seeing
the crumbling body system like an old car. Naturally, our body has its own wear and tear. Keeping that in
perspective, if we maintain a well-balanced lifestyle, then we can still enjoy our silver years.
Philadelphia Telangana Association (PTA), a USA based non-profit organization has initiated this project to
help our parents.
