Testimonials of Members:
- “Coming to Perth, [on a CommonAge conference scholarship] having this life changing experience and interacting with various development actors in the age care industry is the highest and the most monumental best practices with so much nostalgic feelings that I have ever experienced. This cannot and will never be forgotten in my entire life.” — CommonAge Scholarship recipient Francis Njuakom, Director, CommunityDevelopment Volunteers for Technical Assistance (CDVTA) Cameroon
- “As I now sit back and reflect on social and culture wellbeing through the CommonAge Life stories, which my organisation participated and having networked with “Oomph!” team [at the CommonAge Elders Forum], I have come up with an idea to start a proper exercise centre in my facilities which will also boost the social interaction between the youth and the older persons.
- “My newly made friends through the networking in the conference has given me support and encouragement in this sometimes-lonely venture, which even in my local village I feel well set to continue advocating for Elderly skilled care, which sometimes is met with misconceptions. My community has created more trust and I’m sure this will go a long way to making this program successful,” — CommonAge Bursary recipient James Mbatia Kinuthia, Founder, SJ Remedial Care Homes, Kenya
