Elders of care of the aged enjoy a festive early lunch
Over 117 elderly people enjoyed were spoiled with some festive activities on November 25.
The Krugersdorp Council for the Care of the Aged (KCCA) in the Krugersdorp CBD was a fun place to be on November 25 when over 100 elders showed up to welcome the festive season.
The elders of Golden Age Village and Memorial Flats came over to celebrate what has been a fantastic year of fun-filled activities and to be spoiled rotten at the centre.
The Christmas lunch was hosted by the Rotary Anns of Krugersdorp and saw the elders being entertained with some lovely music and treated to some delicious food and treats. The KCCA centre is situated in Burger Street, Krugersdorp. The centre seeks to provide an environment in which the elderly may enjoy a social life outside of the comfort of their retirement rooms and homes.
Very often the elderly are unfortunately forgotten and sometimes neglected by society. However, some members of the Rotary Club of Krugersdorp and the Members of Hoërskool Monument Interact Club made sure not that would not be the case as the learners played their part in assisting in waiting and catering for the elders as they enjoyed their fun.
Interact clubs are mainly youth-orientated programmes that allow local youth to volunteer and play their part in improving their community. The members of the Monnas club consisted of mainly grade 10 learners who took their time to put smiles on the faces of the elders.
The function also saw some elders receive gifts and blankets they could hold on to during the festive season.
