Residents of Kruinhof Village enjoy religious celebrations
The residents of Kruinhof Retirement Village celebrated Easter with the theme, 'Celebration of the resurrections of Jesus Christ'.
The purpose of the event, which was organised on April 23 in the village and officiated by Vanessa Spassov of the Dare-To-Care soup kitchen, was to bless the elderly with Easter gifts and celebrate the spirit of the Easter weekend.
Chicken cheeseburgers, chips, and a piece of cake were served to the elderly.

Additionally, they each received a package of Easter egg chocolates and shopping bags provided by Jean Badenhorst.
'These eggs were donated by a variety of people from Bedfordview, Edenvale and beyond. My son, who now lives in the UK, bought me 20 boxes.
'A soup kitchen in Primrose also gave me 20 boxes. A gentleman by the name of Gavin Fisher always buys me cakes for these events,' said Spassov.
'Too many people to mention but I did post daily appreciations on my socials to thank them all.
I had to make the decision to either cancel or continue because of the rain, but because of the excitement built up over the prior weeks, I decided to continue.
'The pensioners, who receive a tiny pension monthly, were well blessed.

'We cancelled the carnival games and Easter bonnet event but will pick it up end May beginning of June (combined Mothers / Father's Day celebration) just so that we can continue the fun and laughter.
'I'm already planning the next few meals and fundraising by our normal monthly jumble sale which takes place in Klopper Park every first and last Saturday of the month.
'I'll continue to seek donations in the hope of blessing our pensioners just a little more.
'Dare-To-Care soup kitchen is also preparing a small Easter treat for De Wetshof Old Age Home in Kensington on Friday, April 25. We have Easter eggs and shopping bags for them,' said Spassov.
