Our Christmas star!

Thandi stood out as a leader in the Gwaliweni children's support groups. She was always the first to start up a song and first to get stuck into games and activities. Although she is and orphan and HIV positive, she remained a bright and intelligent child. She was living with her grandmother who was struggling to care for her. One of our nurses took a shine to this bright girl and asked her if she would like to live with her and go to a better school. Thandi and her grandmother both agreed- they knew they would still see eachother in the holidays.
Thandi is thriving in her new home and has made us all proud, scoring over 80% in 2 school subjects and over 70% in another two at Grade 4. She is following Nkosi Johnson's example as a young person who can be a role model to others and live life to the full.
