Looking back

Challenges:
It was a challenge to unify in a single program the activities of the administration and those of the association of the elderly. After several participatory meetings and meetings, it was decided and accepted the role of each one. This has been polishing over the years and always depending on the people in the lead. The experience has been positive and has been continuing year after year.
