I got these photos from Lyn Hurlow at Maluti last week. When we first started out the CAP projects Lyn sent us some photos of a number of the kids who congregated around the hospital. There was a shot of Neo, abandoned at 9 months and weighing only 3kg. Well, it seems that some of the CAKE money is now going to give Neo a new home. Here he is at some 15+ months. Left to right on the couch we have Mum, Neo, big sister (also an orphan), Dad and brother. At the back we have another big brother and the childminder.

Lyn writes that “the foster mothers of the 4 orphans who were living in the hospital’s paediatric ward are each receiving R350/month. And the baby’s “mom” gets an extra R120/month for infant formula and soap for nappies”. FYI R350 is about GBP25.  A snip and a bargain…
