| opening her memory box |
...in fact this little girl, who is HIV+ and also suffers from foetal alcohol syndrome, has spent most of her life within the thembalitsha projects, we were blessed to provide a home for her after our sister project, thembacare athlone, had stabilised this little one who came to us needing to take her fluids via a tube into her stomach.
her development has been a joy to watch, from her first day at pre-school to the time when we found a long lost great aunt who said she was willing to provide a stable home for this little girl following the death of the mother from AIDS earlier in the year.
the work that was done not only my mommy maz but also sister portia from thembacare grabouw, who has been visiting the great aunt to ensure that she is happy with the complex ARV medication that needs to be given every twelve hours to make sure she stays healthy and well, and our the social worker from thembacare in athlone, has enabled this family reunion to happen in what we never dared to dream would be the best outcome in this situation.
the staff and volunteers made her a memory box for her to remember us by which she opened once the court had made the placement legal.....it doesn't really need me to say that we will miss this little bundle of fun, as will all her peers, here at the village of hope but we know that God has an amazing plan for her life, a new school and family and we pray that she fulfils all the exciting things he has for her to enjoy!
