Another success story!

When this little girl came to us she could not speak a word of English. With the amazing ability children have to adapt, during the 6 months she has been with us, she has learned enough English to interact with the other children and make her needs known to the caregivers.

The little girl with her mom going back home!

She was nearly 8 years old when she came to us and had been unable to start her schooling because of her illness. When she came to us she had pneumonia and we had to put her on full time oxygen. The sad part is that the hospital had discharged her, sending her home without any medication - a regular occurence in South Africa. Once she was over the pneumonia we started her on TB treatment and then anti- retroviral drugs.


We are thrilled that she is doing so well that she went home to her family last week. We are pushing for her into school soon!
