New Ideas

Today I saw a news item about aging in China. Apparently they have an "Aging BanK". It is especially helpful for those whose families are not living near them or maybe even if they are. "Younger" people, they interviewed some who were 60, put credits in the bank by helping out and visiting with older people. Sometimes they did shopping, went on walks together, etc. This earned them future credits for when they needed help and some one to care about them. It seems like a good idea and maybe it could even help bring more togetherness for the community.
