Inyoni Angels bring birthday joy to residents
“Since becoming involved, the angels have never skipped a month.”
For 12 years, the Inyoni Angels from Inyoni Creek Retirement Village have been part of the lives of the residents of Thembalami Care Centre in Lombardy East.
The residents of Inyoni Creek have found joy over the past years in bringing cheer to the men and women who live in Thembalami, which incorporates the Max Ordman Deaf Association (MODA).
The retirement village and the care centre are run by Rand Aid Association. Many of the care centre residents have little more than their government grants to cover all their living expenses, and the Inyoni Angels, a group of caring residents from the Inyoni Creek Retirement Village, work tirelessly to make birthdays and other special occasions, like Christmas and Easter, memorable.

Monthly birthday bashes are hosted with tea for all residents and gifts for those who have a birthday in that particular month.
“Since becoming involved, the angels have never skipped a month,” said Thembalami’s deputy manager Elize Raath. March 21 saw the Inyoni Angels celebrate the residents’ birthdays. Each celebrant received a homemade blanket from the angels.
“Our heartfelt thanks go to founding angel Val Bartram and the other amazing angels,” said Elize.
