Pool Party fun and games

Fun in the summer sun was the order of the day at the Pool Party held on Friday, December 4, for Ron Smith Care Centre residents.

“Residents of Ron Smith Care Centre donned their ‘beach wear’ and came out to enjoy a lovely morning by the pool on a beautiful sunny Friday,” says Debbie Christen, Rand Aid Association’s Manager: Recreational Programmes.

“Strawberry smoothies, watermelon, chips, ice cream cones and other pool-side snacks were on offer and music played merrily in the background.  The activities team was first to jump into the pool and residents enjoyed watching them splash and play.  A few residents then decided to roll up their trousers and dip their feet into the lovely cool water,” says Debbie.

“We could be in Mauritius!” remarked Joy Smith, a resident of the care centre’s Cedar Park wing.
