SANCA Wedge Gardens’ clients and staff recently put together care packages for people in need of pampering
Forming part of the substance abuse treatment centre’s occupational therapy activities, the assembled care packages included a body wash/soap, lotion, shampoo and an emery board for nail care.
“Our clients worked efficiently in pairs to make a big batch of completed packages.
“This was in a happy atmosphere of giving and sharing with others,” said SANCA Wedge Gardens’ occupational therapist Caryn Berman.

Each client who assisted was given a piece of Caryn’s homemade cake, a sucker, and of course, a care package.
“The packages were handed out to people outside Wedge Gardens who may be begging on the streets, car guards, or anyone in need of some pampering,” said Caryn.
Clients were also entertained by a group of learners from Lyndhurst Primary School.
“They sang and read poems and essays they had written.
“These delightful young people brought some brightness and pleasure to our clients,” said Caryn.
