On Sunday morning, the 28th of August 2022, it was The Margaretha Ackermann Retirement Home’s turn to experience some Zambezi love. I’m not going to say much about this event, but rather let the photographs do the talking. Just know that you made a difference in more than 125 people’s lives that day, and thank you for being involved and making this possible. Mother Teresa would have been proud.
