Christmas joy at Langeler Towers
Residents at Langeler Towers were treated to a Christmas tree and a special day at their new home last week.
THE faces of hundreds of senior citizens beamed nearly as bright as the lights and ornaments draped on the newly decorated Christmas tree last week.
Residents at Tafta’s Langeler Towers were given a traditional evergreen from Tsogo Sun, offering new meaning for senior citizens who will be spending their first Christmas at their new home.
Tafta residents relocated from Ray Hullet House in November this year after the building had to be sold due to extensive building repairs and expenses. Residents can now look forward to celebrating new beginnings at the newly developed Langeler Towers on Durban’s South Beach. The residents, who were joined by a few Durban youngsters, erected the Christmas tree in the recreational room of their new home.
“Our beautiful Christmas tree will shed light on the work that all our valued staff and volunteers do at Tafta, but more so for our elderly who were thrilled with Tsogo Sun’s gesture,” said Tafta COO, Femada Shamam.
She added that every light and ornament draped on the tree represented kindness and generosity and further extended the warm spirit of Christmas.
“I enjoyed the entire experience of decorating the Christmas tree and enjoying a few laughs with the little helpers, it certainly brought back fond memories of my childhood and my Sunday School Christmas events. Thank you to Tafta and staff for a beautiful day at my new home, it truly was special,” said resident, Seth Robert Pretorius.
