**Briefly explain the focus you would have for a changecamp event, and explain why**
If I will hold a changecamp event, my focus will be parents and their children. It is not the general meaning of mother, father and their kids. It is about the relationship between senior parents and their grown-up sons or daughters, and also the next generation. The issue is becoming serious especially in Asia.

When the children grow up, they moved out from their parents’ home, married, and had their own family. All of their time and spaces are filled out by their work, their own family and life pressure they need to deal with everyday. In that case, they begin to ignore their parents and even though they don’t have time to make a call. Some of the senior people feel lonely, but would rather live with pets; some of them have to move to almshouse; some of them choose suicide themselves just because they cannot bear the neglect; and some of them refuse to communicate with other people. From the other hands, the grown-up people don’t have enough time to take care of their own kids.

My changecamp event will focus on how to change the situation and tension relationship between generations. The event can be a small party with bringing third generation to almshouse and play with senior people. They can play and make food together. When the second generations pick up their kids, they can have dinner with senior people. In this way, the children can learn knowledge and respect; the senior will not feel lonely and the adult can take care of both side.
