A lot has changed at the Emmanuel Child & Youth Care Centre, first of all, the home's name has changed as you may have noticed. This recognises the modern conventions with naming social institutions and it is a small but important step towards our registration with the Dept of Social Development.
We also welcomed 3 new board members in the past week, Alfred James as our new Chairman, Rhett Newton as Vice Chairman and Mr James Daniels as an Advisory board member. Welcome to these wonderful people and may this be a very exciting and successful year all round.
On behalf of everyone involved in ECYCC, we would like to thank Marna de Vos (Occupational Therapist) for organizing and making the necessary arrangements in order for training to take place at the Centre later this year, at which other NGO's will also attend. We are excited and looking forward to this. Thank you to Karen McEwan for making this contact, we appreciate and value both you guys.
Welcome to Martha Matthews ("old hand") who is joining our staff. Martha is a certified care worker with excellent training skills,we are happy having her back and wish her success in the future. As Martha knows most of the children, she's been settling in already with smiles all round. Most volunteers will know Martha as a quiet but friendly person with a passion for these children. Martha worked for many years at, and was trained by the Dianne Lang Care Home, before it closed down.
Warmest of greetings, from the management team.
