Students give generously

The students of the Vaal University of Technology, Visual Arts and Design made a generous donation to Thusanani Children's Foundation today. The student designed and made soft toys as part of their work assignments and Heleen received those today.

These lovely designer toys will be distributed to Children's Homes where they will brighten up the lives of the children.

Thanks students. We look forward to more such projects in the future.

New intake

We went out to a Children's home this morning to re-start our regular service of therapy there. How nice to see some of the old faces from last year and how wonderful to hear that some of the babies were placed with their Forever Families and are doing well. So sad however, to see the "new intakes" of the festive season. Babies abandoned while the world were out shopping and spreading goodwill.

"High there Little Ones, we will help to make you feel welcome and give you therapy to reach your milestones . . . . and we'll teach your caregivers how to make sure you have a head start in life."

New Year, New energy

The year 2009 has arrived and we have SO MANY ideas and SUCH ENERGY to make it happen!

To start off a BIG thanks again to Think Toys for sending us another donation during this past week. Awesome stuff. And in good time, since we sill be making up a parcel to go to a underresourced after school care facility in Ladismith. This parcel will be delivered by Airbridge - read about them on http://www.airbridge.org.za

Secondly a hearty welcome to our new staff member: Heather, Bridget and Basheera. Good to have you on board.
