Your gift today- #GivingTuesday- and throughout the year is SO very important to older Bostonians like Maria, who attends our drumming class and shares, in her own words, why she loves it.
"I want to thank you for arranging the drumming classes. In addition to learning the African drums we learned a little about drum sets and African culture. It was very interesting. I really never thought I would learn drumming - especially at this age - or enjoying it so much. I found myself very centered and sharp after the class. Also, it’s a lot of fun!"

#OlderAdults at six of our Digital Dividends program sites learned all about #AI last week, including the benefit of tools like #ChatGPT, virtual and voice assistants. They were particularly impressed by how convenient, easy, and efficient these tools are to incorporate into daily life, and how they can support their health and well-being, including finding healthy recipes, exploring nearby places of interest, and sending messages effortlessly. * * * * * #digitalequity#digitalincludsion#digitalliteracy#TechForAll
