ThembaCare has been extremely blessed over the last month with a inundation of donations…with people not only donating physical items but that of the their time and effort which well contributes to the well-being and growth of all associated, directly or indirectly, with the facility and more importantly, our children benefiting all round.

As pictured left & below, part of all the wonderful items donated for our children are items of clothing and blankets. But what makes this donation of jerseys, beanies & blankets extraordinary is the fact that the individuals who knitted these items have given of their time and talent for knitting to create these items for our children, and we have to thank Mr & Mrs. Weber who donate regularly to ThembaCare and also to the ladies of the Fairmead Court CPOA (Cape Peninsula Organisation of the Aged), Rondebosch who have taken ThembaCare on as a beneficiary for their knitting group. With the cold and rainy days & the upcoming winter season, we know the little ones will be kept warm not only through wearing these items but also feel the love that was put into making them.

It is wonderful to see how individuals,

couple's, groups and communities are able to come together to uplift, develop and provide for those less fortunate, and we have another group of individuals to thank for their donation to ThembaCare. Known as the GTI crew, Mr. Fabian Henderson, representing this car club, handed over a donation of wonderful goodies for the children & the facility (as pictured on the right) and this was done through each car that is a part of the club donating some baby good or money that was used to buy these items and then gathering together and heading to ThembaCare in their GTI’s to do the hand over. A flyer was even designed announcing the gathering and hand over!

Not only had they donated these items to TCA, but once again returned a few days later with buckets of paint and varnish to restore the paintwork on the vibercrete and also to varnish the wooden gate and slats that leads to the entrance of ThembaCare. We would like to thank Fabian, the GTI Crew, Skip Margetts & Kiba Rentals for what they have done for ThembaCare.  The entrance to the ThembaCare facility looks brand new and oh so welcoming!

This past month ThembaCare discharged two little girls, one into the care of her grandmother where she was able to reunite with her 5 other siblings and the other little girl was transferred to a longer stay children’s home, closer to her family…both girls happy and healthy!
