Our Nursing School provides an opportunity for 18 individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds to enter into the nursing profession and this is made possible by Mr. Hoffmeier and his family. We were honoured to receive a visit from Mr. Hoffmeier and his family and it was wonderful for the new students to meet the person responsible for opening the door to further their dreams of becoming a nurse. We sincerely appreciate the support we continue to receive from Mr. Hofmeier and his family.
Two very special people to St Josephs, Mr. Luis Medina and Sister Vera have left St. Josephs and embarked on a new journey in their lives. Sister Vera has returned to Germany after changing many lives in South Africa for 48 years and will always be remembered for her incredible strength and dedication to children. Not only has Mr. Medina been instrumental in ensuring that St Josephs has had the resources to continue to provide high quality care within a caring environment, he too has touched many lives here at St. Josephs. Both Sister Vera and Mr. Medina will be sorely missed and we wish you joy and happiness as you start your new journey.
