Moira Dowds, who resides at Rand Aid’s Tarentaal retirement village and
who has been a long-time volunteer at the Ron Smith Care Centre, has a
wonderful 13-year-old great granddaughter named Sharn Drysdale, who lives in
Alberton.
One day, on a recent visit to her great grandmother, Sharn asked, “What
happens with all the grannies at the frail care centre over Easter? Do you
think that maybe some of them don’t have any family or friends to come visit
and bring them treats?”
When Moira replied that she thought that some might not, Sharn decided
to take some of her birthday money and buy Easter chocolates for some of the
residents. She made up 25 little gift packages, complete with a loving Easter
message contained in each one and asked her great grandmother to deliver them
for her.
On March 24, the day before Good Friday, Moira came to Ron Smith Care
Centre and with Debbie Christen, Rand Aid’s Manager Recreational Programmes,
dished out the Easter treats to residents in River Lodge 1. They were
absolutely delighted to be remembered in this way and touched by this young
lady’s kindness and caring heart.
