St Benedict’s Cubs, under the leadership of Allison Odgers, visited Thembalami Care Centre and Max Ordman Deaf Association (MODA) on 21 July to spend time with and play board games with the residents, as part of their 67 minutes for Mandela Day.
They also brought cake and other snacks for the residents to enjoy with their afternoon tea.
Allison’s son Connor and his friend Charlton Chung, from St Benedict’s College, joined the cubs for two hours of community service, as part of their school curriculum.
“Our residents always enjoy spending time with children and they loved playing board games with the cubs, who have visited the care centre before,” says Thembalami deputy manager Elize Raath.
