May News

ThembaCare is almost a full-house again, after we have admitted beautiful new girls and boys to our family. The now colder weather calls for some added creativity from the care-workers to keep the children busy, happy and contained on rainy days, without the luxury of outside playtime. Four of our care-workers are currently completing a 3 month home-based care course at St. Luke's hospice and will be returning to ThembaCare at the end of the month. We are grateful for the help and support of our 2 nutrition students from Belgium, Ien and Ciebe, who are helping at ThembaCare until next month. Thank you to everyone who has donated clothes or baby items during this month!
