These recreational activities are focussed on improving balance and stability which are essential for safe movement and preventing falls. Residents aimed a ball at a cup that stood in front of them whhich assists in the improvement of hand-eye coordination, the activity required visaul focus and hand movement.

Resident's either sat or stood up to take aim at a pile of stacked cups. The activity also reduces muscle stiffness from inactivity and promotes gentle movement. The activities were fun and encouraged residents to stay active which is key to maintaining their motor skills over time.

Mandela International Day Campaign - 18th July 2025
DONATIONS NEEDED PLEASE

Nelson Mandela International Day is celebrated on 18th July each year to shine light on the legacy of a man who was an international peacemaker and the first elected president of ’free’ South Africa. The theme for 2025 is "It's still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity." This theme emphasizes the power of individuals to make a positive impact on the world, particularly in addressing poverty and inequality. It also aligns with Mandela's vision of a better world for all, especially the poor, vulnerable, and marginalized groups in South Africa.

In keeping with the theme and the powerful message it conveys, the Community Services team at Mowana is working on putting together between 30 to 40 Care Packages for their needy community service users. To prepare these care packages donations are urgently needed. Your donation of the items listed below will help us help them.

For hygiene and safety reasons all donated items should be new and unused. Please donate with an open heart and giving spirit. Your generosity and kindness will greatly assist with this initiative.

World Elderly Abuse Awareness Day is celebrated, on the 15th of June evey year, to raise awareness about the abuse, neglect and exploitation faced by older people worldwide.

Nonhlanhla Zondi, from Age in Action, graced our residents at Sunnyside Village with a presentation that highlighted the importance of addressing elderly abuse as a a human right issue. The awareness focused on preventing elderly abuse through educating older adults on the types of abuse such as physical abuse, psychological and emotional abuse, material and financial abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, medication abuse and violation of rights.

Residents were encouraged to speak out, support and protect individuals from such types of abuse. Residents wore purple color ribbons to help spread awareness and to show solidarity with older adults.
