The Building Blocks Alumni are important and valuable resource in our community but still not fully harnessed. We need to be able to share ideas and collaborate more. One way of facilitating this would be to establish a chat group with everyone able to connect to the other alumni... that would be a good start in the Regeneration process.

Working with Seniors, I hope to establish a community based life long learning group. Something like a "Senior University" so Seniors can continue to embark on life long learning. Learn a new hobby, a new skill, new language, or even learn about building community projects. In 21st century, everyone needs to be adaptable, continous learning so empowering seniors with life long learning attitude will set a good example to others (kids/grandkids) in their family to also embrace on an attitude of life long and continuous learning. The challenge is to find the resource to build and sustain that for long term.
