Out of work, but helping out pensioners
For elderly people, many everyday tasks are more difficult – including shopping. In the Biel-Seeland region a pilot project called 'Wili' wants to address this issue: unemployed people or refugees accompany the elderly to the shops and help them with their shopping. The project aims to give older people back their independence. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)
