(Left) This is Faith. She is 18 months old. While we were at TLC she became very poorly, she has HIV and due to the poor immunity she has she suffers from pneumonia. On this instance she was very poorly and the hospital refused to treat her saying she was too poorly and would die. TLC however didnt give up on her and took her to a different hospital.


(Right) This is Faith a week and a half later, she was a totally different child! Laughing, smiling and being a typical 18 month old child!

(Left) This is Oliver, he is 3 months old

(Right) This was one of the many sad experiences of being at TLC. This is a memorial plaque on it, it says: "In memory of Africa's children big and small who have shared our lives and our love"

(Left) This is the memorial sun dial. It has the names of all the children that have died. Sadly it is almost full.
