Social connectedness and human touch are integral part of Bihani's approaches while working with our elders. However, to support the national lockdown due to the COVID19 crisis, we are keeping in touch with our socially isolated elderly clients living by themselves by making phone calls and checking on their psycho social health. Prashant Kalauni (@prashantkalauni) is one of our resources who has been checking on one particular older adult if she is taking her medications and food on time. He shares, "It felt great to have a conversation. Aunty recognising me over the phone and chatting with me means a simple call can have an impact. I look forward to the days when we both can play chess again." If you know any elderly member who deserves digital companionship and other support services, feel free to connect them with us. Stay safe and do check in with your loved ones. There is always a way! Few ways you can socially connect with an older adult- -Make a Phone Call -Send Text / SMS -Use Video Chat Via WhatsAPP, Viber -Send Video Clips for Positive Entertainment (Movies, Jokes, Bhajans et. al.) and Sharing of Credible Useful Information and News #SocialConnectedness #Pandemic #COVID19 #Elders #SocialEnterpriseInAgeing #WorkMustGoOn #TogetherInThis

When we received calls and messages from Chhewang Sherpa all the way from US and Pemba in Kathmandu yesterday regarding providing sanitisers and masks to the elders we support through Bihani Social Venture - we were not sure how they would manage to deliver them today considering the lock down. Not only did they manage to deliver the required supplies to our social partner Matatirtha Oldage Home today but thanks to the support we received from our other partner @hopehermitage, @SeniorCitizens' Home, Club & Day Care Centre's Pramila Bajracharya Thapa who helped us coordinate with Pashupati Briddhashram - Social Welfare Centre Briddhashram - the team were able to provide masks and sanitisers there as well. Our heartfelt thanks to @chhewang101 and the team from @everestawakening supported by Pemba Sherpa and Manish Maharjan for looking out and for your compassion to support those in need. Charu Chadha thanks for connecting us and always being there for us and Ram Thapa Sir along with team of Matatirtha Old Age Home for the coordination. We will continue our efforts to ensure support is reached to the older adults most in need during this crisis. ❤️ @michiganmanhattan #BeSafe #BeKind #BeSmart #SocialImpactPartner #Ageing #Health #HealthAndWellness #HealthyAgeing #Safety #Prevention #Support #Senior #SocialDistancing #Engagement #multigenerational #intergenerational #elders #Awareness #supportsytem #saathikasaathi #PSS #PsychoSocialSupport #SocialPrescription #Nepal #Coronavirus #COVID19

#BeKind #BeSafe #BeSmart It's normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during a crisis. Talk to people you trust, such as friends and family or your fellow community members. Let us not forget or parents and elders while maintaining social distance. Not only them, we should keep an eye out for elders in our neighbour/ communities as well. Social isolation and loneliness can create higher risks for a variety of physical and mental conditions.
