Every senior was once young—and, since then, has experienced a lifetime of lessons and made countless contributions. In 1990, the United Nations declared 1 October as International Day of Older Persons, the day when we salute our elderly and recognize the special challenges they face. Sadly, elder abuse is all too common. So is loneliness, poverty, and malnutrition amongst the aged.
