The heat of December saw us through a wonderful Christmas and the end of 2010. Rotary in De Aar very kindly came to share their gifts and tender words of comfort to our patients over this special time.
Karin has been up and going, walking stronger everyday.

Olga was extra happy as she got a visit from Aubrey, a Gentlecare patient from a year ago. They enjoyed the lunch together immensely.
What a fun Christmas it was!!
Unfortunately, December did not go by without some sadness.
After one of our patients passed on we tried to assist her very poor and humble family to bury her.
We have very little resources, so we have to make do with what we have.
Digging a grave is hard labour as the ground is just rocks. Not having straps Tommie uses rope to lower the coffin. This can be very nerve raking at times!
And so we head into 2011 as busy as ever. We hope you will keep walking with us as we journey into this new year in the service of God and the suffering people of South Africa!
