Soup Kitchen

Last weekend Yvonne Frazenberg of Aberdeen decided to treat some of the local elderly residents to a soup kitchen with a difference – instead of soup, the guests were treated to a delicious hot pudding and pack of fruit.

Frazenburg sent invitations to local churches, inviting any people over sixty who had birthdays during the months of January, February or March to come and join her and her team of volunteers at the Sop Kombuis in Lotusville on the Sunday afternoon..

The afternoon started with a prayer, and then a spirited rendition of Happy Birthday was sung by all. The oldest guest was Dora Saayman, aged 87, who very much enjoyed the hot caramel pudding. Each guest was given a lucky number, and the four whose numbers were drawn were given the table bouquets of flowers to take home.

The meal, fruit parcels and flowers were all donated by Frazenburg, who is a very active member of the community. She was assisted on the day by friends and family: Zelda Frazenburg, Leonie Bedaar, Augustine Frazenburg, Veronique Saayman and Margaret Boesak. Well done ladies, this is a treat that those lucky enough to attend will remember for a long time!
