School of Hope is writing Matric Exams
Thursday, 05 November 2009 14:35

On 23 October was the matric's last day at school, turning the school into a state of happy chaos! They were rewarded with a well-deserved braai as their final class party. Five days later they sat for their first matric exam. School of Hope would like to thank Phoenix Secondary School in Manenberg, headed by Mr Abrahams, who kindly agreed to host our learners for the exams. In an inspiring visit to our school, he encouraged them to consider the journey ahead and to make the most of the time they have left, the success of which may impact them for years to come. Hosting our matrics is a huge responsibility and additional work for the management of Phoenix Secondary, so we are grateful for their tremendous generous spirit.

Bereavement with Bosom Buddies
Thursday, 05 November 2009 14:25
Bosom Buddies’ main hospital we service is a high risk hospital.   This means many premature babies, babies up for adoption, unwell mothers, babies born sick and neo-natal deaths.   When we first started the project we were totally unprepared for the high number of stillbirths we experienced.  In the years since we have improved our care of the mothers but never enough.  A tiny little girl called Sophia Grace who went straight to heaven inspired us to improve our care and BBS was born.  BBS stands for Babies Born Sleeping.  The project is headed up by Tracey Brown (left in the picture) who is trained in grief counseling.
