Parkcare wards have become brighter after curtain donations.
Parkcare representative Jaqui Smith called on all volunteers August 24 to assist in measuring and cutting donated rolls of curtains for high-care wards.
Social worker Chantall Botha expressed her gratitude to volunteers who assisted with preparing curtains. “We received a donation in the form of rolls of curtains worth a lot of value. Once we’re done today, hopefully a lot of rolls would have been cut, pinned and ready for sewing.”
Botha added the donations could not have come at a better time. “We’re excited for this donation because our curtains that we currently have are worn out and this is helpful because we will be able to upgrade at least two wards at Parkcare.”
A volunteer, Roselyn Davids, said volunteering at Parkcare was a no-brainer for her. “The reason I chose to volunteer today to help with the curtains is because my dad was looked after at this home many years ago. I always told myself that one day when I stopped working, I would volunteer here which is a way of giving back to the senior community.”
Another volunteer, Judy Symons, said she learned about the initiative through a rotary club. “I heard about this initiative through a rotary club I belong to and I am glad because I enjoy volunteering and helping people.”
