South Africa is a country where believers have many opportunities to show Christian concern and the love of Christ to the community. Local churches reach out to adults and children in difficult circumstances.

Many of the children who are admitted to the Doris Goodwin TB Hospital are HIV positive in addition to having tuberculosis. The children, ages one to ten, must leave their families and stay at the hospital between two and four months. This separation is often traumatic.

Workers pack a “welcome to the hospital” bag with personal items, toys and books to help make the adjustment easier. $10 will buy a backpack with multiple items in the bag.

Please help encourage a sick child with a thoughtful care package. $10 goes a long way to brighten this difficult situation in a child’s life. Many boys and girls are admitted to this hospital and they would each love to receive a backpack with items just for them.
