Our elderly community can offer enriching experiences from which the younger generation can learn a lot. Today most people are spoilt for choice, but before, life was different; During the Second World War, Malta was heavily bombarded. This led to a dramatic change in their lifestyles. People had to adapt. They changed their routines to survive. From their experiences we can learn how to live in a sustainable way.
