In my last post I talked about the blankets and beanies the Residents were making for the children in the Mbongolwane district who have been orphaned or whose lives have been affected by the HIV pandemic.
A group of compassionate women in this community have formed a care group which aims to provide a wholesome midday meal to children like these.
Linda, Manager at the Homes and her team of volunteers organized a visit this month to Mbonglowane to distribute the blankets and were delighted to be entertained by the children themselves with singing and dancing as an expression of their gratitude for the cosy gifts.
Critical Care Centre
Our latest project is the building of two Critical Care Wards with facilities for relatives who need to spend long periods with their seriously ill parent or spouse.
The Homes are full to capacity and so it has become necessary to have a separate facility to provide intensive care for residents when the need arises.
All our fund raising efforts in future will be directed towards this project.
First up will be an evening of fun and music with delicious food and drink and towards the end of the year we will be having a Fete.
I will post dates for these events nearer the time and details about where to buy tickets etc.
In the meantime please continue to support our Craft corner and the Knick Knack Shop situated in the main lounge and remember to join us for tea on Thursdays .
Thank you for all the encouraging mail I have received about this blog, I really appreciate hearing from you!
