Monday Seniors

What a day very exciting, the buzz and the "wat gaan ons doen". Its Monday morning 20 April 2009.
We have 30 seniors attending on a Monday but this morning some seniors have brought their friends along. We have a packed room and need to0 bring in extra chairs.
Our normal program is one week arts and crafts, one week sports and exercises, next week motivational talks or health talks. We have something new something different happening.

A lecturer from Cape Peninsula university of technology Mr. Marlon Parker visited our seniors club.The purpose, of the visit is to empower the senior citizens of the community with technology. We had real fun because some of the seniors were never introduce to this. They had to bring their cell phones along, now this is what I heard "ek kannie die ding werk nie". "sit daai kant toe jou aerial is in die pad." " my phone kan photos vat maar da issie 'n spool innie", " ek het my land line phone gebring waar kan ek dit inplug.They were also introduced to the web, they loved this because their children could now see what Impact Direct seniors were doing.

They had their second session 4 May and more people came. Our last one will be next Monday.
Our seniors will soon be MIXTing it and going on to facebook. Best of all they will have the knowledge of internet, fax and email that will work for themsome have children oversees.
