Great examples of older people living joyfully and with purpose.
In this article from Positive.News featuring ballet dancing, athletics, art, and going to school, we meet seven older people living well and showing us all that it is usually not too late.
Sitting at a desk alongside two of his grandchildren, Kimani Maruge first attended school in 2004 at the age of 84. He was taking advantage of a decision by the Kenyan government to introduce free primary schooling. In 2005, Maruge boarded a plane for the first time and travelled to New York to address the UN World Summit on the importance of free education. Maruge died in 2009, but older people in Africa have been going to school ever since.
