Babies and children at Othandweni and Princess Alice Adoption Home continue to enjoy normal residential services during lockdown. Unfortunately, our centres have had to close their doors to walk-in volunteers.
We’ve done this to keep the children safe but we do miss the volunteers. The babies, especially, craved their gentle touch and the care workers appreciated their assistance.
But we’re happy to say that the older children at these centres have come to the rescue. They spend many hours giving the babies one-on-one attention and helping the care workers.
We are blessed to have such kind children. We love them all individually and are doing our utmost to keep them safe and healthy.
ts fill with pride when we see the children in the Othandweni Independent Living Skills programme taking their duties so seriously. These children come every day to work the veggie garden in Soweto to ensure they have fresh veggies to eat. Being in lockdown has changed their perspective, especially the older ones, who now understand the importance of self-sufficiency.
u were to go to your favorite restaurant right now, what would you order? What would it cost? And if you can’t enjoy dining out at the moment, perhaps you’d like to donate the cost of that meal to Joburg Child Welfare children?
Life carries on regardless of nasty viruses! Days tick past and birthdays come and go. But before they go, they need to be celebrated – and we thank donors for bringing colour and cheer to these special occasions.
