Peace Village residents completed their special project with Saint Xavier University students on April 22nd. The residents who participated in this project met with students in February and March to share stories about their lives. These college students had an opportunity to learn from our residents about growing up in a different time, major life accomplishments and treasured memories, what life is like as an older adult, and how vision loss (or another major health condition) affects them. In return, the students wrote something for the residents, since the participating residents have trouble writing on their own due to visual or physical limitations. The pictures below showcase just some of the special bonds formed as a result of this intergenerational project.
