The good for which we are born into this world is that we may learn to LOVE and give to others......

This has been a wonderful week of networking, we met a man by the name of Nicholas Koupis from Bloemfontien, in Kimberly at Fruit and Veg. We were purchasing our fruit and veg for the care center, when he approached us, the networking began................... needless to say he has a huge amount of baby food that he donated to Gentlecare as you can see, who wonderful because we could in turn donate to the local clinic to the less fortunate and help fill a huge gap.

Thank you so much Nic it is so kind of you and thank your father for the sweets he sent us, who has a sweet factory in Bloemfontein, you are all wonderful thank you.
We struggle to understand each other because of the great number of languages spoken in the world. But hugs know no language barriers. Who needs a translator to tell you what an arm around your shoulders means?

How true are the words because this is exactly what Ben and Maria did they came in the the little shop passing to Cape Town. Very little was said Ben just asked to give a hug, and by giving a hug, Gentlecare jumped into their hearts.
Gentlecare would like to thank Ben and Maria from Johannesburg from the core of our hearts for the way they have got involved at Gentlecare. They have spoken en friends have given clothes, chemicals and food. A great huge thank you to all the wonderful people that have taken part in Ben and Maria's cry for help we really appreciate it. And believe me it all has help a huge amount.

A very special thank you to Ben and Maria for the 13 packets of Nappy's they donated, it was such a huge present, for we all know that Nappy's are very costly. You are both very special and awesome people. May life take you safely to where you would like to go.

A huge help with the donation of the food. We are always in need of any perishable foods.

This is some of the clothes and chemicals that Ben and Maria brought with them.
This is Paola Rosini from Italy, who kindly visited the care centre and donated some children's cloths, we give thanks to her for the kindness, and our wishers are that you have a protected, safe and awesome holiday in our country. You have a big heart Paola thank you.

You all must have wondered what has happened the all the updated of Gentlecare.........

We must apologise for not been able to update the past few weeks, as we were in Austria for 6 weeks visiting our daughter, allowing us to have a rest and spoiling us so much.

We were very privileged to have seen so much of Europe it was a real treat.

When we arrived back home it was a hectic schedule that time was the problem, we were also knocked with the death of Tommie's mother who passed away at the wonderful age of 91, but leaving a huge gap in our lives we will surly miss her so much for she was very much loved by all.

You read about Chris who was at Gentlecare, we were so happy for him to have picked up his life and settled in so well, needless to say that he has passed away, Gentlecare is happy to have made a small difference in his life and we shall miss him dearly, he was a very special man. This is some news of the old age home in Britstown. It is called "Huis Daneel" it is a warm and cozy old age home giving tranquil life to the aged, should you know of anyone looking for a room, at a very affordable cost please feel free to contact the Matron on 053-6720205, she will be very happy to assist you in any question you might have.
