OTASA Congress 2009

Heleen did a presentation on "Thusanani and CSI funding" at the recent OTASA congress in July 2009. (OTASA stands for Occupational Therapy Association of South Africa). The presentation was well recieved and a number of professionals asked for more information on Thusanani.

Thusanani is thankful to Blue Moon who helped Heleen with her presentation as part of their ongoing involvement with Thusanani. The Glen shopping Centre who paid for the airfare to Port Elizabeth and QZCreative who footed the bill for accommodation and meals also warrant mentioning here. Support like this is what makes it possible for Thusanani to make the difference in the lives of vulnerable and orphaned children.

While in PE Heleen visited a number of local Children's Homes (Orphanages) and was impressed by their eagerness to learn more about the courses we run for Care givers of Children living in a Children's Home. We'll keep in touch and discuss how we can assist them with training.
