💙🩵 GO TURQUOISE FOR THE ELDERLY 🩵💙
Emmanuel Verpleegskool Pretoria Campus students proudly stand in support of the “Go Turquoise for the Elderly” campaign — raising awareness for the dignity, safety, care, and respect of our elderly community members. From 15 May to 15 June, South Africans are encouraged to wear turquoise and show compassion towards older persons, especially those vulnerable to neglect, loneliness, and abuse.
As future nurses and caregivers, our students understand that caring for the elderly is not just a duty — it is a privilege. Every wrinkle tells a story, every elder carries wisdom, and every person deserves to age with dignity and love.
Thank you to our amazing nursing students for showing kindness, compassion, and support to the older generation. đź’™
