Back to school at the age of
58
"I left school after my fifth year at primary school but I've done all
sorts of courses since – dance, sewing, first aid. I love to learn! Once
my children grew up, I studied for my baccalaureate and graduated when I was
58.
No support for older people
"I don't feel that age is a problem; it's the situation in the country.
There's no support for older people. I don't have a pension. I earn a living by
making and mending clothes. On a good month I earn 180 pesos (US$75). I have to
keep working.
Lack of money holds me back
"I don't like to bother my three children - they have their own money
worries. My dream is to study social work. I have always been very curious and
I do not think that age is an impediment. What holds me back is lack of
money."
Justina Vanguera, 68, from
Buenaventura, Colombia
