Centre needs your help to keep afloat

Langaville – One doesn’t have to be young to stay healthy, this has been proven by the elders of Thando le Nkosi Day Care Centre.

Every morning the elders in the area come together to exercise to help keep fit and healthy.

Founder of the organisation Nomvula Xcimba says she decided to open the centre in 2014 to cater for the needs of elders and orphaned children.

“I identified these as the most important people in our society but they are often overlooked and abandoned.

“We started a soup kitchen to help feed them to ensure they have a healthy meal daily.

“We also provide meals for the learners at Lefa-Ifa Secondary School,” she explains.

Nomvula says because they understood that people don’t only need a healthy meal but also need to have a healthy lifestyle, they decided to start exercising.
