THE GREAT EMBRACE
In our country, August 26 is celebrated as Senior Citizens' Day, a day to honor, respect, and recognize the elderly, whose lives are marked by rich experiences that serve as examples and lessons for us. This year, the celebration was interwoven with strong emotions and feelings due to the emergence and outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has claimed and continues to claim many lives, especially among the elderly. Despite these circumstances, and as a means not only to pay homage but also to send a positive message to our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, the Asociación Adulto Feliz (AAFeliz) organized six virtual presentations between August 17 and September 12, 2020. These presentations were led by renowned specialists in various fields of knowledge related to aging, the physical and mental health of the elderly, as well as the economic situation of our seniors during the pandemic.
