Joy can be created
When you look at the smiles on the faces of elders at our traditional Christmas lunches there’s no doubt about it.
All it takes is just R140 to sponsor one person’s lunch.
But it’s not just about providing a delicious 3-course meal. With each lunch you sponsor, you give an older person all the excitement of getting dressed up in their best clothes . . . sitting down together at a table set with festive décor . . . companionship, laughter, music and dancing.
