A different kind of outreach
A week or so ago i did a talk for the inter-generational learning center at Providence Mount St. Vincent "the mount" assisted living facility. It has a preschool and kindergarden in a facility with over 400 residents.
I took in my dive gear and over an hour of diving videos... As you can see in the pictures, the gear was a big hit, and they watched EVERY video....
In picture 5, the little tiny old lady in the blue and white quilt is 102 years old... the kids were all 5/6 year olds. it was one of the most wonderful and rewarding things i've done, and they have invited me back!!!!!!!
They have even asked if would make a jellyfish and fish video for their Alzheimer's patients because the underwater scenes seem to sooth them... I think that is some of the most rewarding feedback I have ever gotten :)
