Our trip to the creche

Every Friday a team from SALT visits the Enozipho Crèche in Joe Slovo. The team will spend time with the kids, sing songs with them and read them stories. This last week they did a puppet show, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. Also they had a lady visiting from The USA, Christina, tag along on their visit. The kids love the visits and always have smiles on their faces when we come.

Isidima

Today the SALT team ran the weekly project, Isidima. We were able to see 45 women today who all received counselling and a food parcel. Just for today, Doreen Mugendi, who works at Stellenbosch University, ran a breastfeeding clinic for all the new mothers. She educated the women on the correct way in which to breastfeed especially those with HIV. Doreen was able to advise and help a lady who's baby has a cleft palate by showing her how to feed the baby correctly until she sees the doctor in March.

Thumekas Story

In October 2011,Thumeka, a young girl from Dunoon came to SALT looking for help. After chatting with her for a while, the SALT staff found out that she wanted to give her 3 month old baby girl up for adoption. She saw it as the only soultion because she just couldnt  look after the baby anymore and wanted a better life for her. So SALT decided to help her by paying for the baby to go to creche and offered Thumeka domestic job. She finished working there at the beginning of January to start an Educare course: first aid, domesitic work and child care. The SALT staff are happy to announce that Thumeka is almost finished with the course and will soon be getting her certificate. They also realised that she had a problem with her eye sight so they took her down to Torga Optical in Pick ‘n Pay near Bayside to have her eyes tested. Torga Opitcal have now graciously sponsered Thumeka with a new pair of glasses. Over the last two weeks Thumeka has now become an interpreter at the SALT project Isidima and has kept her beautiful baby girl.
