0:10
thank you for bringing this artwork to
0:13
us we are really having fun and
0:15
remembering our old Childhood Days
0:30
the reality that we’re faced with is
0:33
that seniors of all backgrounds face
0:35
isolation and loneliness which leads to
0:37
mental and physical health degradation
0:40
and for seniors from different cultural
0:42
backgrounds like India and Pakistani Sri
0:45
Lankan these seniors are added
0:47
especially high risk because they need
0:49
art and programs and language services
0:52
that are relevant to them which is why
0:55
we do the program in so many different
0:56
languages and why we teach so many
0:58
different art forms because people want
1:01
to relate to the music and dance and
1:04
artwork that they grew up with

1:37
you know the power of a workshop like
1:40
this is we’re using so many elements
1:42
we’re using the physical movement we’re
1:45
using the auditory so we’re listening to
1:47
the music and then we’re using all the
1:48
coordination between the music and our
1:51
bodies which is so powerful and it’s so
1:53
so important to get everybody up on
1:54
their feet and exercising and what
1:56
better way to do that than through dance

for the society and all that and we owe
2:27
it to them we owe this to them
2:31
it was very nice we had a kind of a
2:33
meditation type thing various ways of
2:36
keeping at peace to ourselves because
2:38
senior people are having some trouble
2:40
sometimes you know sleeping or having
2:43
peace because of the they’re maybe alone
2:45
or lonely sometimes for this kind of you
2:48
know it’s like an extension of trying to
2:51
do some job of relaxing and all that
