Some good news!

We got the blood results for this little boy who came to us a month ago and he is HIV negative. He can now be put up for an adoption/foster care.


Quarantine Update

All our homes are still under quarantine – a selection of children from three of the homes have mumps – every few days another one pops out, so our quarantine could go on for some time since the incubation period is 21 days. We therefore have to wait 21 days from the latest incidence before ending the quarantine – this date keeps moving further and further!

Although the children in the baby house have been spared the mumps, we have chicken pox doing the rounds there. This is the fourth round of chicken pox we’ve had in Lambano over the last 2 years so all the older children have had their turn. However, because of their HIV status, our children could get it again, so we’re keeping the older children away from the baby house.

Ooooo if only we could come to Germiston for a few months, i would love to adopt this cutie too!!!! He actually could be a bro of Jona don't you think :)

I didn't know that children with HiV can get chickenpocks more then once?
We hope and pray everyone gets well soon!!
