These my friends are the best thing I bought the whole time I was in South Africa!!
They are handmade cards from girls in the Hospice we visited.
They are so beautiful already but then to think that they were made by the women we met just melts my heart.
The Hospice we went to was in KwaMlanga, South Africa.
It's a Hospice for those who have AIDs & some of them have AIDs and TB.
People come there when they have no where else to go and when they really dont have much time left. In South Africa, a lot of the villages and townships consider AIDs to be witchcraft so when a loved one or someone in the community gets to be very sick with AIDs they are typically exiled because of the fear of witchcraft.
Those who are exiled or have no where else to go when they are living their last days go go places like this.
The miracle of it though, this particular Hospice has had a 70% recovery and survival rate in the last 5 years. This Hospice, ran by the Pastors wife, is so clean, loving, and provides all the medical needs that people who have stage 4 AIDs and TB are actually recovering and getting better!
Praise the Lord!! That is such a miracle!
You rarely hear about cases like those turning around, but that is becoming the norm at this Hospice!
It's stories, testimonies, and witnesses like this one that make me miss South Africa every second of every day.
