"I met this elderly woman in an oldage home. According to Roland Barthes (1970), it is not the voice that communicates, it is the whole body. This includes, eyes, smile, gesture, clothing or hands. I wanted to seize this moment. She was peacefully sitting on the bench of a garden, enjoying the sunny day. Although we didn’t speak the same language, we didn’t need words to communicate. Sometimes it only takes a smile or a look. So why did I want to photograph her hands? First, because our society tends to associate what is beautiful to what is young, fresh and new. However, I found some beauty and delicacy in her hands marked by time." @vidya.vanni AIESEC Exchange Participant with Bihani #BihaniSocialVenture #WrinklesAndSmiles

“Aama always brings a smile on my face whenever I visit her. This time, it was the way she had worn her sandals - one with two toes out and the other tied with corn husk 😊When asked why she had worn her sandals that way- she said it was to be comfortable. Living with dementia - it is always intriguing to try and understand Aama's thought process. Everytime I meet her - I have to introduce myself and tell her my name but I will never get tired doing that because her smile and her company- just watching her - is priceless - I will always look forward to meeting her” - Bihanis Team Member

Baajey (refers to elderly man in Nepali) is in his 90s and loves making 'Namlo' using plastic ropes which is used for carrying bamboo baskets over the head. He likes keeping himself busy and has managed to modify his slippers using ropes to hold it in place. When asked about his interesting innovation Baajey laughed and said, " You can find rubber slippers everywhere in the market but none like mine!" -Santoshi Rana

87 Year Old Aama has Dementia. These are her dolls - their names keep on changing as per her mood however, her love for them is unwavering. She looks after them as her own children and loves them as much. Aama lives in her own world and fascinates everyone around esp. me, I can never get enough of her stories & imagination ❤️ - Santoshi Rana . . “Some people with dementia find that they get enjoyment from holding or simply being with a doll. It might remind them of a time when they had young children of their own or simply create pleasant feelings of reminiscence or affection. Some family members find that giving the person they care for a doll seems to inspire a renewed sense of purpose, which can lead to increased activity levels and liveliness." https://bit.ly/2QLtFfV #Dementia #Dolltherapy
