Monday- Today I worked with the toddlers again at Sarah Fox. It was music therapy day and it was the first time I've seen them all sitting at the same time. The therapists used both English and Xhosa and sang to each child individually using his/her name. Everyone got to play an instrument and the toddlers LOVED it.
The hospital ran out of paper towels and had to start using cloth towels at the sinks and in the bathrooms. Instead of regular soap, the hospital has to dilute the hand soap down to almost the consistency of water.. maybe an idea for a fundraiser when I get home. A CCS volunteer who just finished the program at Sarah Fox is creating a fund right now to get faucets with long handles for the nursery so that staff don't have to touch the handles when turning the water on and off.
A couple of the toddlers were sent home this weekend because they were done with treatment... Yay!
