November News


Who can believe that another year has come to the end? With lots of challenges for the year especially the IPU: We had 61 new admissions for the year this is except for those how had been re-admitted into the IPU and 13 deaths. The sad part is 2 of the ladies who died were on our books the longest - but no amount of education/love/care could stop the illness. There are so many out there that needs our love and care and our Home-based Care ladies have a great task to see to them and their needs.

To the many volunteers that visited our project and went on rounds with our Home Based Care ladies this year we want to thank each and every one. We pray that you will take with you the knowledge and empower others around the world with what you have experience and fist hand seen.

ThembaCare also put on a fresh coat of paint in the interior and we look really smart for the festive season.

To our loyal staff we wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and that the new year will be full of blessings.
