Picture of the Week

Christ was born in the first century, yet he belongs to all centuries. He was born a Jew, yet He belongs to all races. He was born in Bethlehem, yet he belongs to all countries. – George W. Truett

DO IT DAY AT ST. JOSEPH’S

Xoliswa (far left), Hessel, Mandy and Sabine (all volunteering for Old Mutual’s DO IT DAY “Give a Hand – Change a Life”) came together to help clean the medical ward windows. Mario, the Operations Manager noted that “we have a lot of work keeping five medical wards in top shape, and cleaning the windows is always on our “To Do” list, but the project gets pushed back due to more pressing needs.”
We send out a big thank you to Old Mutual for supporting ‘DO IT DAY’, to Greater Good for connecting the dots and to the four volunteers for helping to keep our view of the world sparkling! Thank you!!!

Thank you Rebecca

This picture of Rebecca was taken two months ago. At the time Rebecca was volunteering at the home. Rebecca has mailed a package of gifts from the USA to the Sunflower girl’s medical ward, as well as gifts for some of the other children. As you can guess, it was an early Christmas for the children. A big THANK YOU to Rebecca for putting big smiles on the faces of our children, and for making each of them feel special!
