I see your point, but I'm not sure I agree.... Is Household maintenance, 'clinging'? Is monument restoration, 'clinging'...? Is having a school janitor to do odd-jobs, 'clinging'?
I'm not sure where we can draw the line between 'maintenance' for the sake of clinging, and maintenance for the sake of continuity....
It was a compassionate gesture on the part of those organising and funding this. Their Intention, I think, was wholesome...
So while I can see what you mean, I'm not certain we can simply label it 'clinging'....

Lawd bless 'em, ain't that grand.
Is this an example of clinging?
The Taliban will have to ban light next.

I'm not sure I agree either. But I do wonder if it is clinging to a past that is gone. It may not be. It was just a thought.
Yes, I would say it was good intent, providing things like this are not done to poke a stick in the belief of locals.
