Community brings hope for SAVF Silverdays
Members of the community joined together to make Spring day tons of fun for the residents of SAVF Silverdays old age home.
WATERVAL BOVEN – The SAVF Silverdays has been battling with the pressure of a struggling economy and is reliant on donations to help keep it afloat. Lowvelder previously reported on a shortage of food at the old-age home. “Things are going okay here, but we still have a dire need for food,” said Elna van Zyl, chairman of the board of the old-age home.
