At ThembaCare, much like many households, things are slowly getting back to normal after a busy Christmas season! Anyone who has visited TCA knows that it is more of a home than a hospice, and we strive to create a normal routine for our children (they’ve spent enough time in hospitals!). This includes sending the children who are old enough to school and crèche, where they can learn and interact with similar aged peers. Two of our children are now attending primary school and another is attending crèche, it is great to see them engaging in these normal everyday tasks we too often take for granted in our own lives. Outings, like a trip to the beach or Mac Donalds, are another part of life that our children miss out on, so we try to arrange regular outings. This month we were fortunate enough to take five of our children on an outing to the Two Oceans Aquarium. Some were enthralled and others quite wary, but overall it was a fun afternoon and a great opportunity for the children to be exposed to something new and educational. Thank you Two Oceans Aquarium for making this possible!
