Not all heroes wear capes 🦚

This week, our Activity Leader, Kelly, came across a stranded peacock in the middle of the road. Without a second thought, she pulled over, stopped oncoming traffic, carefully picked up the bird, and moved it to a safe place.

Thanks to Kelly’s quick thinking and kindness, this beautiful peacock was kept out of harm’s way.

Well done, Kelly – you really did save the day! 💙
