DownloadSailing Beyond the Sunset: Impact Study on COSE’s Journey Towards Dignified Aging (Summary)

Old people are honored in the Philippines but aging is not. Beyond all the good programs (health care, advocacy ,etc) my deepest wish is that both older people and society look at aging differently and older people become who they are supposed to be… at the peak and not end of a lifetime of growth and hence invaluable to themselves and others.
