A trainee said, "Old people learn new things very slowly. But they are very nice and patient. Now I have grasped some basic techniques. Let me try to send one message to someone else."

Mr. Chan, president of Senioe Citizen Assocoation, Macao,said, "It's very easy to take these courses. Just fill in a form plus a little bit money. That's all. "

Yoga and SMS are only two of the many courses provided here...the membership price is just 80, which is very cheap for the locals.

Lai Lok Kuan, Asst. director of I Chou Center,said, "Looking after the senior citizens is important for a healthy society. That will spare more time and energy for the younger generation to work even harder for a better life."

Macao resident Mr. Chou said, "I never worry because there's nothing to worry about. I have a big plan traveling through the entire mainland."
