its been a while since we updated you about our rainbow smiles adolescent HIV support group which runs each friday afternoon under the amazing leadership of emma podmore, who is ably supported by johan and two of our thembacare care workers.we have to respect the children's identities and therefore their status which is one of the reasons for the lack of updates about this wonderful group, however last friday we held a special session which celebrated the move to our new venue which is held at sunday school rooms at the elgin united church and it was a chance to welcome some new children who we had identified via the work we do with the local day clinic to our weekly club.
the children enjoyed an afternoon of drumming and dancing which was lead by our security guard, andlie. they had so much fun learning simple (for them but not myself and emma who really struggled!) rhythms and xhosa dancing which was great to watch. it was nice to see the use of music to bring the group together and we hope to do this again in the future, if we can borrow the drums again.
