CSLS: - the struggle of the elderly for respect and dignity

Wanderlei Marques has been attending the Laudato Si Social Center for a few months. He lives near the Center.

At 75 years old, Mr. Wanderlei suffers from unemployment, having been looking for work for over a year since he moved from Araçatuba to Campinas to be closer to his daughter.

Even though he is retired, he still feels fully capable of working, but unfortunately, people consider him “too old” for that!
