Praise the Lord!!!

The children were excited to be back home!
We were finally able to move the children back into the house at 36. It took 3 days to first clean the house and then unpack everything but children were really excited to be back home
For the other news:
We have 2 ladies visiting from Holland; Jannie and Astrid. These ladies have been really helpful; they work in the Hospice most of the time stimulating the children (reading to them, singing with them, teaching them new things). They have also visited the children that are in hospital at the moment – this is wonderful for the children since the hospital staff will not allow us to leave toys or books for them since they will be stolen. We are really grateful to have these ladies with us!!

Update:

Hospice:
We have had 2 admissions this week: a 12 year boy who is semi conscious and a 6 month old girl with Downs Syndrome – she also has a heart defect and is oxygen dependent.

Hospital:
It seems like Friday is a day to admit the children to hospital. Last week we had to admit another child to hospital. At one stage we had 5 children in hospital but thankfully 2 of them have been discharged.

Katlehong:
The 2 girls from Katlehong who lost their grandmother in an accident are starting their counseling on Monday. We were worried about who was going to look after the girls but their aunt from Lesotho is willing to move to South Africa and will be looking after them. Praise God for her!
