Thembalami Care Centre held a head-turning Women’s Day celebration on August 18.
The event was organized by the occupational therapy department and management, under the theme ‘Doek on fleek’ (‘on fleek’ is informal for ‘stylish’). Residents and staff dressed in white and denim and wore stylish head wraps.
Two motivational speakers from the care centre’s nursing team encouraged unity, self-love, compassion towards others, and teamwork. Staff members and residents enjoyed various outdoor activities and when the residents had their lunch, the staff members also gathered to break bread together.
“It was a successful day enjoyed by both staff and residents,” says social worker Lara Hurwitz.
