The Hospice is ready!!!

Finally the Hospice is ready! It’s taken years of planning but we are happy to announce that our Hospice is ready to accept the children!!! The hospice has 12 beds and 9 are already filled – 7 children who have been squeezed in at 36 Senator with the 7 permanent children plus two new children that will arrive today. At this rate, by the end of the month we will be bursting at the seams again.

We will put the pictures of the hospice next week!

NEW VOLUNTEER!!!!!


Shelley Martin arrived from the USA at Lambano in the second week of June with bright smiles! She is volunteering with us until the beginning of August. Shelley is a fun-spirited, bubbly young lady who cleary has a genuine love for children, as well as South Africa. She already has spent much time with the children here at Lambano playing games, singing, dancing and whatever the kids find her to do! Shelley is currently studying sociology and poverty back home and has chosen to do her internship here at Lambano. We are blessed to have this young lady with us and thank God for how she has just fitted in thus far and has brought along so much joy with her. We look forward to the rest of our time with her.

Reunited with family!!!

She likes to pose!

This 3 year old girl has been with us since July. When she came to us she was on permanent oxygen because her mother defaulted 4 times on her ARV drugs. We are happy to say she is off oxygen now and doing very well, so well that, on Wednesday she went back home to her mom. She was really excited to see her mom.

Please pray that she will adjust well at home.

New intakes!!!

The 6 month old boy!

The 14 year girl who likes reading!




The 16 month old boy!

2 of our children who are now stable, left to go to another facility (since we are full in terms of our permanent children) and on the same day we received 2 new children. The little boy is about 6 months old and the girl is 14 years old, then yesterday, we received another little boy, who is 16 months old. The 14 year old girl was really shy when she first came and used to spend most of her time in her room sleeping, but now she reads to, and plays with the small children.

Bara visit

Our quarterly Bara visits have started again and, so far, all the children are doing well! Two more of the homes go next week and we hope those visits will also go well too.
