Winter warmers for vulnerable seniors
Capricorn Group employees, in their role as Changemakers, last Friday demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact in the community when they hosted a winter warmer event for vulnerable pensioners from Katutura Old Age Home and the Khomasdal Old Age Home.Changemakers donated winter items like knee blankets, socks, gloves, beanies, scarves and toiletries worth N$20 000. The employees further treated the elderly to a day filled with heartfelt interactions, serving meals and drinks, engaging in lively games, offering barber services and pampering stations, handing out donations and offering valuable financial literacy and fraud prevention sessions to combat fraud incidents.
The Changemakers' visit was a testament to Capricorn Group’s ongoing purpose of being Connectors of Positive Change in its communities by enriching lives. Before the event, Capricorn Group called employees to donate winter items, and donations from socks, scarves, beanies, gloves, knee blankets, and toiletries flooded in.
The pensioners were delighted to interact with the Changemakers, enjoying the conversations and the attention they received. The financial literacy session included ATM safety, PIN security, debt, and saving.
The atmosphere was alive with laughter and meaningful discussions, making the day socially enriching.
