[Imagination Club] Challenge: New charity concept

[Alka Puri]

There is a great number of old people across the world who feel lonely
because their kids are too busy,and noone has the time to share their
experiences. There is a very large number of children too who have literally
nothing -- no money, no guidance, no opportunities.
 It would be marvellous if the two groups could be brought together -- the
old person as a mentor, emotional anchor, a guide, an advisor; and the young
person as a learner, a child who cares & is available, an implementor. Maybe
the charity could routinely bring together these combinations and provide a
monitored opportunity for their mutual growth.
 This charity would generate lists in an area of both sets, find a good
match(as in adopting children), ensure that each one does their share ---
the old person could teach/ counsel/ etc and the younger ones would look
after/take care/share their world/etc. The charity would provide financial
aid as well as events where many such groups come together and feel proud of
what they are building together!
 A lovely dream!
