EDF<br />
The Education for Development Foundation has 25 years’ experience and<br />
currently funds more than 10,000 scholarships per year for underprivileged<br />
students in <strong>Thailand</strong>. To address a growing concern, they have put together a<br />
pilot project, Senior Citizens Smiles, with the goal <strong>of</strong> bridging the ever-widening<br />
gap between two generations ~ the grandparents and their grandchildren.<br />
EDF will involve the senior citizens and grandchildren in joint activities to<br />
help build self-confidence in both groups and better relations between the<br />
generations. Seniors will be brought together with their grandchildren in<br />
two schools in Udon Thani Province. Together, they will focus on healthcare,<br />
physical education, healthy eating, self-sufficiency, better mental health<br />
through meditation and the wisdom <strong>of</strong> the aged as they share their life stories<br />
with the younger generation. The overall goal is greater interaction between<br />
the generations and happier, healthier families.<br />
