Hello Everybody
Thank you for being patient with me with regard to our email updates. I will be sending out an email every 2 months from now on.Thank you to our contributors:
Ingrid Rix, Arlene Johansson, Anna Johansson, Denise and Willem van Bergen, Sharon Wewege and Heather Milne and our anonymous friends at New Beginnings Clinic.Dry goods pantry:
We have not received food for the dry goods pantry in the last 3 months and it has been sorely missed by all the moms at the clinic. We have been buying bread and bare necessities every week to fill in the little bit of food [one dry Provita and a cup of tea a day] that the government gives to feed the moms.Mom and Baby packs:
We are still in desperate need of all the items for the mom and baby packs. Please let me know if you can assist here. We can make a small difference, and we do. We will continue to work at the Retreat maternity clinic as we have in the past. At present I am sure everyone is feeling the pinch and we are confident that things for our moms and babies will pick up.
Congratulations to Yolanda Parry:
Yolanda was nominated and won the “Rotary Woman of the Year 2011 award” for her work done at the clinic. Yolanda has been with us for a year now and her work every Tuesday is so valuable to the moms who come into contact with her during labour and afterwards. Congratulations, Yolanda! You deserve the accolade.Making a personal difference:
The election on the 18th May is so close and I hope you have all registered to vote and that you will make your vote count. Only by voting can one have a say in how the government is run and enforce small changes in the country.I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter and holiday week. Back to work tomorrow and back to school for the children.
Stay safe and love as always,
Norah Papanicolaou
