Welcome Ayema


We welcome little Ayema into our home. He is a 4-year old and struggles with brain damage, but he is a good baby boy and never cries, sleeping well. Ayema was placed in our safekeeping since last week; he has a father who loves him very much but needs to work and cannot care for him full time. We have been asked if we can keep him more permanently as the nearest institution will be in Port Elizabeth, but this awaits for the courts to decide the best outcome.

In the meantime we try to make Ayema comfortable and enjoy having him as part of our growing family. Care of him is a full-time job which as always requires extra time and cost out of our already stretched resources. We are happy to take on this challenge, but if anyone would like to sponsor the care of Ayema directly while he stays with us it would be greatly appreciated, every little helps. Please contact us if you are interested in supporting this wish.
