Charity
Doctor BB
makes this simple by organising visits for
children aged six months to six years with elderly people. Kids
have a unique power to bring elders cheer. They just need
to be themselves – no special skills are required – and the
elderly will feel their positive spirit. Doctor BB has just initiated
a warm, fundraising challenge called 1,000 Elderly Hugs. To
