  The differential cross section and the analyzing power are calculated for
elastic scattering of $^6$He from a proton target using a microscopic folding
optical potential, in which the $^6$He nucleus is described in terms of a
$^4$He-core with two additional neutrons in the valence p-shell. In contrast to
previous work of that nature, all contributions from the interaction of the
valence neutrons with the target protons are taken into account.
