March News

February was the month of love!... and Reddam House Atlantic Seaboard’s primary school decided to show some real love this valentine’s day by donating baby products and groceries to ThembaCare Athlone. Thank you Reddam! Peddle tissue in Maitland has chosen TCA as their charity of choice on a monthly basis. We are grateful to our sponsors!

We have also welcomed a new baby; baby L, to our home. This little baby girl is only 2 months old and although she is currently quite ill, she is full of gurgles and smiles! Boy P is 11 years old and has been with us for over a year.  Health-wise he has made a remarkable recovery and we excited to discharge him to his mom and grandmother in the near future. Please pray with us that we will find the right school for him, to suit his special needs. It is truly a delight to witness the little ones grow and develop their own unique little personalities. The children continue to often make us laugh, sometimes test our patience and constantly inspire us with their resilience and joy.
