The very thought of abandoning a child is painful not only for the child but for the person who has made that decision. Sometimes we dont understand especially not knowing back ground history. What we can be assured of is that Fikelela Child and YOuth Care Centre situated at 23069 Christmas Tinto Street, Mandela Park Khayelitsha touches lives and makes a difference. Your support enables us to make the difference. We recently had a premature baby admitted to the facility, tiny not even the length of a ruler, yesterday that same baby was given an all clear at the hospital where he was assessed. Grown beautifully, gained weight listens attentively to the stories being told, the singing of the children, the action taking place and he moves his head following the sounds. It contributes to his growth and the rest of the children. Music, singing, laughing, jumping and dancing, creating a therapeutic environment adds to the success of making a difference. They are removed from their environment where they are broken and brought to a safe space where we are able to nurture, develop and be the difference that they seek. Thank you to each and every donor for your contribution in enabling us to do the important work with our children of the future. We are happy children and we live in a caring environment where we are loved every day.
