And if change is inevitable, we have to live up to that standard\u2026we cannot go back to the old days,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>As also explained by GGAD international Commissioner Josette Seraphine Hedrington,<\/p>\n<p>Girls guide leaders who took the course will pass on the knowledge to their unit which will result in a cadre of young individuals knowledgeable on how to properly care for the elderly.<\/p>\n<p>Providing her feedback on the course, GGAD Guide leader Myrtle Riviere highlighted that one of the main takeaways that she earnt from the course is that \u201cI should, and we should all take care of ourselves in order to take care of the gems of our country, the elderly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe elderly are always and will always be special in our lives. And we must give them in return the best. I was also reminded of the importance of getting and giving enough and good nutrition, sleep, rest, and also to show love and compassion and patience, as these would be great assets in giving back to those who took care of us when we were much younger,\u201d she made known.<\/p>\n<p>Plans are presently being drafted for the training of a second cohort of participants.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1'
