In the last few weeks, two of our special needs children have been moved to new schools.

One is a nine year old boy who is partially sighted so we’ve got him into a school for Blind and partially sighted children. Since the school is in Pretoria, he needs to board during the week and we collect him on a Friday afternoon. It was very hard for us to make the decision for him to go because he’s very small for his age and always has a lost look about him but he’s settled in very well and we hope he be happy there.



The second child is a girl who turns 7 in April. She suffered brain damage due to a stroke at the age of 2 years so she needs a school that will teach her basic skills to prepare her for assisted living as an adult. She’s also settled in very well and is excited that she is in “Big School”


Our children continue to enjoy the swimming lessons and it’s tough to get them out of the pool when it’s over.

Our staff has been spoilt this week!

We often have people who spoil our children for which we are most grateful, but most of the time our staff are forgotten. However, this week our staff were in for a treat! Denna and her daughter (visitors from the States) spoilt our staff, by buying them KFC for lunch. KFC’s is a favourite with the staff and they were really grateful for the lunch. Thank you Denna and Maheila for your generosity!
