Wellness Outreach
Social Development Athlone District requested Impact Direct Wellness group to do a site visit.The purpose of the visit was to give a health check up.
We were a group of five ladies and three Impact young men who went over to Langa. It was our first visit to Zone 17 Old age home. Last year we had a group from the same home Coming to The Impact centre. We saw that they had a great need and that they were very lonely.Our youth then visited the home and had fellowship with the elderly.
The program: high blood , weighting, padicure and manicure.
The senior folk were so pleased with their treatment they were thanking us all the way. The one gentleman (uncle Basil) said he could not wear sandals now he can.No person his age can reach their feet nevermind cutting toenails. The ladies had facials and they even had nailpolish and makeup.( Aya a glamours lady) relived her youth she was a model and worked on movie sets. She was very please with her treatment and she then gave a few modelling tips and a walk on the ramp. The men had haircuts and nice, neat shaves.
I really enjoyed the outreach because if the people are blessed you are blessed.They later enjoyed the pot of soup we took with.They enjoyed the singing and dancing. The most important was the prayers and the one on one counselling. We need to go back soon because the need is great.
