“I would like to make use of this opportunity to thank each and everyone who is involved at Thembiso. It is for us, the staff and myself an absolute privilege to take care of these babies and give them the love that the birthmothers cannot do during their first days in life and this we cannot do without the help of every volunteer that commits time to Thembiso.” Ria Pelser, House Mother

Baby M

It is an honor to write this email! After his two major operations and being in the hospital for more than a month, Baby M is a happy and fun 7 month old. We've grown very fond of him... This is not all...

Baby M found a forever family and was placed on Saturday! We praise our Lord for hearing our prayers!!! He has two sisters and a brother!

No child should ever be lonely or abandoned!

Thank you for your prayers! Our God is faithful.

Baby M - Beautiful

Baby M came out of surgery at 10 yesterday morning. He is so brave. The doctors removed the access skin on his face and he is BEAUTIFUL. He has a perfect nose, and two beautiful brown eyes. I praise our Lord!

Please pray that the infection was cleaned out and that Baby M will recover fast. Thank you for all your prayers!

Baby M - Infection

Dear Friends, please pray for his little baby boy today. Due to the infection he is going in for another operation this morning. The doctors will open him up again and clean the infection. Baby M has been in the hospital for almost two weeks now. He has developed a cold, please pray for healing for this baby boy!

Also continue to pray for Ria and all the workers at Thembiso!!!

Baby M (update)

After almost a week after the operation Baby M is doing better.

Infection occurred in the last couple of days so the doctors started him on antibiotics. He is currently back on tube feeding. According to Ria his right side (of head/face) is very swollen. Please pray for this little guys. He is a miracle at four months and we trust God for an amazing future, for him!

In your prayers please pray for Ria. She is at his side every moment of the day which is very taxing in a state hospital.
