Thembalami resident Heather Abram is not one to sit idle. A resident of the Rand Aid care centre for five years, she kept herself busy during lockdown doing an activity she has always loved – painting! The result is a number of bright canvases, two of which she has framed. Thembalami’s manager Esme van der Walt says Heather has given the care centre two paintings, which will be raffled to raise funds. Heather, who married fellow Thembalami resident Edward in 2015 after a whirlwind romance, is always one of the first to put her name down for activities and social events, where her quick smile and deep dimples help keep the fun going.
