Community group helps brighten elderly residents’ lives

On National Women’s Day, an energetic group of community members from the Westbourne and Weshof areas decided to bring some joy and cheer to the residents of Huise John Vorster.

The community group under the leadership of Melody Engelbrecht, together with her team of Natasha Strydom and Elaine Stassen, managed to get all sorts of super donations for their outreach from various businesses and individuals. There were room make-overs with donations of curtains and bedding, cupcakes, fresh flowers and pretty bags of soap andscented creams.

Revamping the lounge, dining room, bedrooms and frail care was also on the cards. The group thanked everyone who had donated and showed support. Anyone who would like to assist further can contact Engelbrecht on 084-563 5563.
