This way, retired businessmen and women are enabled to remain “active” and contribute to the development of children by transmitting their knowledge and love of good work of their profession to the younger generations. — Through this inter-generational encounter, the Elder helps the Child to develop manual dexter- ity, discover a talent, but most importantly, preserve the knowledge and skills of a specific craft and value their heritage.
