Horsing around for Durban July

 Rand Aid’s Ron Smith Care Centre joined in the action of Africa’s biggest horseracing event. On Friday, July 1, 2016, the day before the Durban July, some of the staff, residents and volunteers dressed up and had fun parading around in their fancy hats and Durban July finery, much to the delight of all the residents. They seemed to enjoy the spectacle and many residents remembered their previous experiences with horse racing and all that goes along with it. “We had the fashion, we just needed the horses, champagne and oysters to complete the day!” remarked one spectator. Pictured is volunteer Shirley Blieden ablaze in orange.
