Blessed Gérard's Friendship Club A project of Blessed Gérard's Care Centre established by the Brotherhood of Blessed Gérard Mandeni, kwaZulu/Natal, Republic of South Africa

The objective of Blessed Gérard's Friedship Club is the care and counselling of indigent persons over the age of 60.

We invite all interested senior citizens twice a month to join us for a cup of tea and a chat and a different activity each time, for example a doctor gave a talk on geriatric ailments, a nurse taught calinetics, they played games or did handicrafts. This serves to get the elderly out of their isolation and to find new friends.
