This Wednesday, October 19 from 9 a.m. to 14 p.m., the Nature is the key – Wellness & Entertainment association organized a well-being day dedicated to the elderly from different neighborhoods, as an extension of Blue Week for seniors which took place from 3 to October 8, 2022.
Juliette Irish, president of the Nature is the Key association, who recently received the Medal of Honor for Ultramarine Commitment from the hands of Jean-François Carenco, Minister Delegate for Overseas Territories during her visit at the start of last week, particularly to offer the third and fourth generations a day of well-being outside the usual Blue Week calendar so that the elderly do not feel that no more activities are in place for them in apart from this event. This Wednesday, October 19, the exteriors of the association located at Sandy Ground looked like a real wellness center with hairdressing, manicure and pedicure stations, facial care, foot care and massage, all given with natural products. Without forgetting the tanning session with the relaxation deckchairs installed a little apart, with large gazebos for those who prefer the softness of the shade. In collaboration with the association Objectif Réussite Aim For Success chaired by Georges Richardson and also located at Sandy Ground, Nature is the Key, created in 2019, has made it possible through this well-being day to create intergenerational links, such as the walk between children of the association and the elderly followed by a presentation of medicinal plants, another initiative to date bringing together generations and proposed by Nature is the key. This Wednesday, the children were especially eager to dance for the elders, members of the La Couronne association or from the 978 Social Center in Quartier d'Orléans. Juliette Irish, happy that this wellness day had so many benefits for seniors, was keen to organize an event for them but also that it benefits seniors in several neighborhoods, not just Sandy Ground, always aiming for more of social connection. About thirty seniors were pampered by the various specialists in well-being and personal care. Three men were part of the thirty participants and they did not hide their pleasure in the face of the attentions which were intended for them. Fresh fruit juices and a meal complemented the well-being of the body. Congratulations to Nature is the Key for this great action in favor of our seniors who deserve daily kindness. _VX
