Con 50 años de vida en común ya estamos transitando por este “Camino otoñal”, descubriendo, día a día, la alegría de vivir y tratando de colaborar en la construcción de una sociedad más justa e inclusiva. El Otoño, al igual que el Adulto mayor, tiene su belleza y la estamos conociendo. Pensamos que hay mucho camino que recorrer y todavía tenemos una mirada optimista de la vida, consciente que junto a las dificultades del diario vivir, hay desafíos que afrontar y oportunidades para servir.
