1) Elderly people in Portugal face problems of social exclusion, loneliness, inactivity, isolation, and depression, especially those living in nursing homes away from their families.
2) Volunteering is proposed as a solution, with student and teacher volunteers from EPAVE school organizing activities to combat loneliness among the elderly, such as celebrating St. Martin's Day and promoting intergenerational interaction.
3) EPAVE promoted two volunteer actions called "Being a Citizen is to be Solidary" and "Love & Care" to educate youth about the social exclusion faced by elders and encourage active citizenship.
We mix up national / international politics, religion and the ongoing Great Game in and around Pakistan and across the globe. It is a common fashion to blame Zia-ul-Haq, Religion and Maulvis for everything from Russian invasion and defeat in Afghanistan to 9/11 and from acts of terrorism across the globe to target killing in different parts of the country. In Pakistan all the public movements demanding a change were very smartly hijacked by invisible manipulators. In different circumstances Bhutto, Zia-ul-Haque and Pervez Musharraf were used as popular political, religious and moderate TOOLS by INVISIBLE STRATEGIC PLANNERS who INDIRECTLY rule the country through the elected and unelected rulers as their FRONTMEN. When these front men create a mess a new front man comes forward with an agenda reflecting most popular demand of the day. Is it necessary to throw out a government to bring change? How many governments have we already thrown out and where do we stand? What is the guarantee that the results after getting rid of this government will not be the same?

LEARNING ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP
22. 1. In Portugal, the elderly population represents a group
increasingly relevant both in number and in social
concern, as a result of situations of social exclusion,
including situations of solitude, family abandonment and
poverty;
2. Among many, the solutions considered for us to
combat some of their problems are the company, the
warmth, conviviality with the young, caring, animation,
through voluntary campaigns;
3. EPAVE promoted two voluntary actions under the themes “Being a Citizen is to
be Solidary” and “Love & Care”, aiming to educate the school and local community
to the social problem of social exclusion of the elderly people and incentivate a
more active citizenship;
4. As a consequence of these initiatives have resulted a bigger involvement of
young people towards this social problem, as well as their awareness of the
importance of being an active citizen as a contribution to the common good;
5. Volunteering is very important for the young participants, because they felt very
gratified by the exchanges with the elderly people because "Doing Right it's Cool
... Makes Me Happy ... Makes me Feel Good!".
5. This was the poster of our first volunteer action: “Being a Citizen is to be Solidary”.
To promote volunteering and interaction between generations, the volunteers organized a march through the streets of Póvoa de Lanhoso.
We celebrated the Day of São Martinho in the centre of the village with the elderly people from the Home Care of Póvoa de Lanhoso, to which the local population joined.
6. This is the group of volunteers who organized the first voluntary action. In our school already exists the Group "EPAVE Ambassador“, which participates in various voluntary actions addressed to different target audiences.
7. Volunteer Group: students, teachers, staff, headboard, all together in the volunteer action: “Being a Citizen is to be Solidary”.
8. Thus, on 11th November, the volunteers began the march through the streets of the Village of Póvoa de Lanhoso, aiming to educate the school and local community to the social problem of social exclusion of the elderly people and incentivate a more active citizenship.
9. This is the march through the streets of Póvoa de Lanhoso…
10. Here we can see some pictures reporting the music and animation moment…
11. So, the volunteers celebrated with the elderly the Day of São Martinho, one of the celebrations marking the Fall. According to Portuguese tradition, in this day chestnuts are roasted and the new wine is drank, produced with the harvest of the previous Autumn. The volunteers offered to the elderly people juice and roasted chestnuts, and this celebration is always accompanied with traditional music and dances.
12. HAPPY HOUR ...TOGETHER, is the second voluntary action and gathered the school community around the elderly people, contributing to the awareness of being a more active and solidary citizen for the COMMON GOOD!
ALL WE NEED IS LOVE!
LOVE IS ALL WE NEED… !
13. This is the group of Portuguese volunteers who participated in this action.
14. Here you can see a poem written by Carlos Santos, a student and also volunteer from our school, dedicated to the elderly people.
15. These pictures report some moments of … LOVE & CARE!
16. Here are represented the moments with students reading their own poetry dedicated to elderly people.
17. Here you can see all together playing games and the awards to the winners!

19. At the brunch time there was the celebration of the 84th Birthday of Mrs. Emília.
20. We also had some folk music and Fado.
And here you can also see a postcard made by a student, Odílio Vieira, illustrating the traditional “Lenço dos Namorados” (Valentines’ Scarf), typical from the north of Portugal. It says: “Here you have a souvenir from EPAVE, to colour your life, we thank your care and presence, in such a special date.”
The “Valentines’ scarf” it’s an ancient tradition in our region. Women handmade the scarves with love themes and wrote a message to their loved one. Since they were women with very little scholar formation, they wrote this messages as they pronounced them, making some written mistakes. But, because this is theirs main characteristic, they still are produced in the same way.
21. Doing Right it’s Cool… Makes Me Happy… Makes me Feel Good!
