Talking with our grandparents

What are your daily

activities?

How can you cover

your needs in

health care?

Housework,

custody of

grandchildren and

visiting the KAPI.

The municipality of

Mandra collect

medicines and food

and distributes

them to the elderly.

Feelings and complaints

What is your

contact with family

members?

What advice would

you give to your

grandchildren for

the future?

There is not

frequent contact

because they stay

away.

To be honest, to

have dignity, to

struggle to achieve

their goals

We must not forget that…
