This boy was received just recently at 18 months. Sadly he passed away on Wednesday morning. We send our sincere condolences to the family. Please pray for them during this time.

REUNITED WITH FAMILY!

This girl has been within us for over 2 years it was really sad to see her go – please pray that she will adjust well at home and school.

Reunited with family!

This young girl has been with Lambano since March 2009. She has just gone back with her mom (20 May 2009) and been reunited with her family. She started taking ARV’s and is doing well. She will be going back to school and is very happy to be back with her family.

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.

Another visit to the hospital!

On Thursday 3 of our children had surgery – an ear repair, a tonsillectomy and a set of grommets! Two of the children came back home that night and they are doing well. The girl who had the ear repair had to stay overnight because she had to start intravenous antibiotics to fight the massive infection she has. She was glad to come home today and is doing well - she’ll be on the IV antibiotics for five days. Please pray that all three of them will heal quickly.

Reports:
The children got their First Term reports from school and they all did well.

Mama Barbara's 60th birthday!!

Last week Mama Barbara had her 60th birthday. Her three daughters who live in America came out to SA so that they could be with her on her special day. The Lambano children joined them for cake and ice cream. We are so grateful to have Mama Barbara with us!

After 3 weeks of playing and running around at home, the children are back at school! Although they enjoyed their holidays, they were really excited to see their school friends.

Blessings!!!

We have a new Pregio 12 seater bus. Thanks to Auto Trader for raising funds and buying it for us. God is great!

After the show

Our children are on holiday, so one of the volunteers (Gillian) raised money for the children to go and watch the High School Musical show and afterwards they were treated to a nice dinner. The children had a lot of fun - they were even singing and dancing along.

New intakes!!

We have 2 new children, the boy is 13 years old (although he is the size of an 8 year old) and the girl is 8 years old. Both of these children are really sick, please pray that their treatment will be successful and that they will soon be well.

The boy is really shy and always plays by himself - he is learning to ride a bike.



The girl runs around and enjoys playing with the other children!
