We all hoped that as 2020 rolled into 2021 we would get to leave the difficult experience of the pandemic behind us. The pandemic has been challenging for everyone often pushing us past our limits and testing limits we didn’t even know we had. GetSetUp arrived in India right in the middle of a pandemic. It helped by responding to the needs of older adults during this time who were now stuck at home or had limited options for learning, entertainment, and social activities compared to normal.
Our GetSetUp community has worked tirelessly to address the stress of older adults with positive learning opportunities to help them keep connected, stay healthy, and have opportunities to socialize with their peers safely. When GetSetUp launched in India the COVID-19 curve was trending downward, so positivity came easier, but now together our community must face this terrible and devastating COVID-19 surge.
