Bibi joined us in February as a volunteer from Eindhoven in the Netherlands. She spends her time assisting the social workers and working closely with the kids in the Sunflower ward. Her picture can speak a thousand words and this photo clearly reflects how well Bibi has fitted into the home and how valuable she is to our kids. We hope her stay with us is a memorable one.
We welcome our newest German volunteer Sabine. Sabine completed her studies in communications and journalism. Sabine will be helping to enhance our communication with the media. In the afternoons Sabine also spends time with the children in the medical wards.
Please consider making a Christmas donation to support the healing efforts of the Pallottine Sisters. 
NKG celebrated their 10 years of service by giving each guest who attended their event coasters bearing the National flag of South Africa and Japan, hand painted by our children. Thank you NGK for your generous ‘Mind the Gap’ donation and for helping our older children to earn some pocket money. Because you care, we are able to give children a second chance at a healthy childhood. To visit the NGK web site (click here)
We were pleased to welcome Andile Sangqu, the newly appointed Executive Director of Xstrata to the Home last week. In the first picture, Andile, stands below the Medical Ward sponsored by Xstrata for 2009-2010. In the second picture, Andile and Peter Hughes, the Chairman of the Board of St. Joseph’s Home tour the children’s medical wards. Thank you Andile and Xstrata for all your support! Because of your support, medically fragile children will lead healthier lives.
