Ten residents from Johannesburg Society for the Blind (JSB) received hands and feet massages thanks to Beautiful Feet SA at 29 Landor Street in Tulisa Park.
The owner, Melissa Castro, said it was a great pleasure to pamper the residents of JSB.
“I started this business this month with my husband, Georgio and we were fortunate to spoil them. Ward 57 Clr Faeeza Chame recommended we do this. It was fantastic to give them this experience outside of their routine. I am grateful to JSB for letting us pamper them,” she said.
