In the Burmese Buddhist tradition elderly people are usually taken care of by family, they don’t live in retirement homes like we do in the West. But the residents of the Buddhist Home for Aged People don’t have any family members, so they are considered orphans, needing to be taken care of by the community. There is only one nurse taking care of more than 80 people, so they take care of each other. Beautiful people all. They live on donations from Buddhist people.
