FAMILY DAY Bring ‘n Braai

We   enjoy   Family   Day   twice   a   year   (   2nd   Saturday   in April   and the   last   Saturday   in   November,   an   Easter   and   Christmas   craft market ). This   November   was   fortuitously   a   sunny   day   in   between   rainy days.   Our   garden   was   looking   wonderfully   green.      Meeting new   faces   and   catching   up   with   family   news   created   a   buzz of   conversations.   Many   family   members   shared   their   spread, and   there   were   some   tasty   spicy   foods   as   well   as   Paul’s bucket of KFC that he dished out to everyone as a starter. There   were   some   new   faces   this   year   as   well   as   the   regulars. On   this   occasion   residents   were   expected   to   braai   their   own meat   on   skottel   braais   or   charcoal   braais.   And   so   a   new traditional   begins.   Cooking   one’s   own   food.   Everyone   found out   that   they   could   actually   cook   and   that   standing   around   a braai   in   the   good   old   South   African   tradition   is   a   fun   activity. Crafters    sold    some    of    their    wares.    Everyone    went    home smiling.

OUTREACH

FNB does it again and again.

In   October   2016   a   4th   group   of   staff   from   FNB   JHB   from   the   Processing   and   Engineering department   continued   with   their   outreach   initiative   and   the   maintenance   and   renovation project.   The   Thandanani   Centre   men’s   residence,   Jabulani,   had   the   lounge   patched   and painted.   What   a   difference   it   has   made   to   the   quality   of   life   of   our   residents.   We   are   very grateful to everyone who worked so well and so hard.
