Just a few days ago we wrote an article on the importance to care for our elerly, and how many requires the support of our community, it was thus enlightening to witness Operation Compassion Welfare Society of Potchefstroom, and their drive to gain support from the local community to offer support to our parents, fathers, mothers and loving grandparents of yesteryear.
