ANKITA BANSALBARCH/1003/2011ORPHANAGE + OLD AGE HOMEOrphanages and Old age homes are, BOTH, places that need special care and assistance. Instead of old age homes and orphanages in separate facilities, the combination of both should be built.There are many old age homes, where many elderly who are well educated and not very sick are living deprived of love and alone. At the same time, there are many orphanages where children dont interact with, or receive love from, elders.We can build homes where elderly people and children can live as small families, take care of one other and be loved.

CHALLENGES:Of course there will be other problems occur once both homes are combined such as children might be too noisy for the elderly to rest, or even children might be standoffish because of the negative influence from the elderly. But there are system to solve all these problems and I believe that the advantages are more than the disadvantages.There is a chance that old people might not want to be with the kids and might prefer to be alone. The kids might be seen as a disturbance if they spend more than a certain amount of time with them.Diseases could spread easily from the kids to the old people and vice versa unless proper care is taken. Success of this model would also depend on how much love the old people could shower on the kids.Also we need to ensure that kids are not harassed (physically AND mentally) as I know some old people are not good and are outright bad. Who will ensure that ?
