In this page we hope to advance the programme initiated by Wikihenry, to explore all aspects of caring for the Elderly of Hawaii and other groups in other countries. It will generally take the form of videos which can be seen on laptop, ipad or smart phone.
We welcome suggestions and feedback from any and all members of the University of the Third Age; simply email wikihenry@yahoo.com and it will reach Henry and your webwallah Prasanna.
Please check back regularly for more information.
