| Indian Senior Citizen Association, Houston | ![]() | | Details | | | | Name: | | Indian Senior Citizen Association, Houston | | Vision and Mission: | | This Association was founded twenty five years ago by Seniors of Indian families, comprised primarily of individuals who spent a large time working life in India & came to USA to be with their families.
The need for such an association is self-evident. While seniors provide very important contribution to resolve some of the problems faced by a growing Indian family, their own problems continue to remain unaddressed. They feel serious cultural, Social& behavioral shock of being in an entirely alien environment. Loneliness and isolation are endemic. Lack of mobility is one of the most serious handicap.
The family atmosphere does not necessarily provide an efficient answer because of differing priorities and values. Adult children are away working & grandchildren are away at school a good part of the day. Sometimes differing language [lingo] & interests add to the difficulties of a meaningful rapport with children, particularly grandchildren. Rapport with neighbors is mostly out of question unless they happen to be Indian Seniors as well. The association tries to provide partial solutions to some these problems, albeit in a very limited way. The association provides as a forum to seniors to meet others of their age group, socialize exchange experiences, and seek information & solution. It provides an atmosphere of cheer, friendship & understanding.
