Ryan Walt’s pan flute playing charmed the residents and staff of Thembalami and the Max Ordman Deaf Association (MODA) at the care centre’s monthly birthday bash on March 19.
The lives of those residents with a birthday in March were celebrated through music, good food and the company of others.
Joining Ryan as the day’s sponsored entertainers was his brother, singer Steve Sterling. Both are known for their stage presence and beautiful performances.“Unfortunately, Joan Keylock, who turned 97 in March, was unable to attend the function because of ill health,” says Thembalami deputy manager Elize Raath.
The youngest birthday ‘boy’ was Stuart Brown, who turned 66 in March, and the only MODA resident with a birthday in the month was Shaun White, who turned 69.
“Every song the brothers performed was heavenly, uplifting the residents’ spirits and sparking happy smiles and increased interaction,” says Elize.
