Mandela Day at Emmarentia Eventide Home

Eventide old age home in Emmarentia celebrated Christmas in July on July 17 2020. Our community did their 67 minutes a day early by organising them a lunch. 

The event was a great success and the residents really enjoyed themselves.  “Could we please do Christmas in July every month?”, was the plea from the residents at the end of the meal!

A wonderful collaboration between the Emmarentia Residents Association And Kindness Like Confetti (KLC).
