well what a week we have had and to cap it all we have some further wonderful news to share. after over 2 and a half years with us our little 7 year old boy has now left us to start his new life with his grandparents on a local farm.this boy was placed with us at very short notice in september 2009, his mother had been a patient at our thembacare grabouw facility and although the amazing team there were able to stabilise her she is unable to care for the little boy herself. you could read about his arrival during a film shoot here.
the news of his departure is due again to maz, the house moms and mommy mel who have not only worked with him but his grandparents to bring this reunification back into his family home, he becomes our 24th child to be placed home or with foster care.
over the last few weeks he has been counting down the sleeps till he was able to go home and such was his hurry on friday evening to get into the car we were unable to capture a decent photo capturing the moment, but that in a way is great news and we are so glad that he was happy to 'go home'.
we would ask you to continue to pray for him, that his family will continue to work with him, ensuring that he attends his monthly counseling meetings and hospital visits and although he has gone home he will spend every school day afternoon with us at the village of hope as we provide his grandparents with some after school care.....
