Seniors were educated in using IPads and they are allowed to rent it to make films and photos about their view of life or interests. • Two IPads sponsored by another foundation are helping a multicultural senior meeting point to stay in contact with their families living fare away, especially in Turkey. It should be possible to rent this IPads like a book in the library.
