Come celebrate with Senior Park
Senior Park retirement village is hosting a bazaar on Saturday under the theme “Go Turquoise for the Elderly”.This campaign is a month-long initiative that encourages members of the public to wear turquoise in that period every year to raise awareness of issues affecting the elderly. The Senior Citizens Association is also selling crocheted turquoise flowers to raise money.
Along with jukskei, which will be played at Senior Park’s new courts, a few bazaar favourites such as hot dogs, jaffles and candy floss will also be available.
“Nostalgia is good, but we should rather look ahead and plan. We cannot change the past, but we can certainly influence our future and reclaim our knowledge,” according to a statement from the Senior Citizens Association.
Apart from the campaign’s goal of empowering the elderly, it also raises awareness about the neglect and abuse of the elderly by shedding light on the various factors that lead to it. – [email protected]
