Our HAP was one of our main focus this quarter. For my HAP, I worked in a group with other students to make a proposal for a pop up show. We want to show people what a garden and adult park can do for the community. We would ideally love to do it at bayside but we are still in the process of planning our where it would be ideal. We would to make the event and permeant garden to be a mutigenerational site. For our poster, Danyi and Rhiannon made a great map about what areas are in the most need or would benefit from this program. Our HAP is definitely something that we are all committed to make it a possibility. We applied for some scholarships so we are waiting to see the approval of those application. But I think we have many opportunities where many people would be interested in what we are trying to create.
When we presented all the poster at the healthy aging symposium, many people were interested in the work that we are doing. It was a great opportunity to be able to make connections and people wanted to help us get sponsors. Many gave us cards so we could possibly go to give a presentation on our vision and the benefits it provides. Many were also interested in the NAP’s we did last quarter. Many asked us if we would talk to them more about it. They wanted to know where we got our information and in general what the purpose of the project was. They were definitely more people than I expected but it was great to be able to show our hard work that we did during the quarter. It is sad that we are all done with the class because we all work great together as a cohort. I can see the passion that many people have to change the world and help the elderly community. After having been able to have the experience of working worth elders and seeing the need that this growing population needs it’s very important to me because we are all going to be there eventually. This class has also taught me to not fear about aging. Things just get better with age.
