This quote rings true for the children at The Smart Hub in Macassar, who recently enjoyed the wisdom and storytelling from some of our special HSFA residents. These representatives (Ellen, Louise and Adele) from our ever-growing “HSFA Projects Team” brought bags filled with beautifully knitted blankets, jerseys, beanies, and teddies, all lovingly crafted by our residents, to the school. Ellen told an animated version of Little Red Riding Hood which had all the kids hanging on to every word!
Massive thanks to Dr. Bryony May and her volunteers at
Out the Box NPO for creating a wonderful educational centre for these children, the Little Smarties, achieving a remarkable transformation in just two years. Our residents from HSFA Projects recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Bryony on the various programs being implemented by Out of Box and were instantly inspired to get involved and contribute their skills.

A special thank you goes out to our wonderful residents at HSFA Mountview Frailcare, Joan Moen and Edith Hofmeyr, for their incredible dedication and generosity. Over the past few months, Joan and Edith have been tirelessly knitting beautiful crafts, which they have now graciously donated to
Heartlands Baby Sanctuary.
This heartwarming effort bridges the gap between generations, showcasing the kindness and creativity of our elderly community members, and bringing joy to the little ones at Heartlands.
