Our children were blessed by the Life Roseacres Clinic’s Sizanani Project with blankets - my office was packed! Each child received their own blanket. Thank you for blessing our children with such a lovely gift!
Office packed with blankets
The Roseacre's staff with some of the hospice children
Elyse - our new volunteer from Ameraica
On Tuesday we had 4 different appointments in different hospitals and, to top it all, Jenna - our Hospice manager was sick, so Elyse (a new volunteer) and I had the privilege of taking two of our children to the occupational therapy appointment at Baragwanath Hospital and Sibylle had to take another girl from the Hospice to a diabetic clinic in Boksburg. In the afternoon Elyse and Sfiso took another boy to the Johannesburg Hospital for a follow up at the Burns unit.
The two children that Elyse and I took for the appointment received splints and I was told that the boy has to have occupational therapy every day. This boy is 13 years old and he had a fungal infection on his left pointy finger (amongst many other problems). Some of the things that he has to do is learn to wash and dress himself, to pull his damaged finger back and hold it for a count of five. While they were showing me all this I saw how he struggled with every activity and this made me realise how much I take for granted, even knowing how to type this blog with all my fingers. I was saddened when I saw how this boy struggled with even these simple tasks.
