“A highlight was the dancing rooster, which left residents and staff members delighted.”
Farmyard fun was the order of the day when the Farm Corner visited residents at Thembalami Care Centre and Max Ordman Deaf Association.
Smiles stretched from ear to ear, eyes sparkled and hands were eager to connect with furry, feathery and woolly friends.
The October 5 event which demonstrated how therapeutic animals can be saw Farm Corner bring ponies, chickens, goats, ducks, sheep and more to interact with the residents.
