Bodies 4 Butterfly House...

Butterfly House has been open for 2 years now! Wow, the time flies. Originally focused as an HIV/AIDS resource center for the community, Butterfly House has grown into a community focused jewel helping to meet all the needs of the Fairyland and Milkytown communities. One of the many programs is the early childhood program each morning. On this particular morning Marnelle Helling led a class that taught the kids about their bodies. To drive the point home, what was the best tool? Well, food of course! Take a look at the way these kids got into their work.
The MCM/Miqlat partnership with Drakenstein Palliative Hospice is a great example of how we try to place the needs of the community first. Our two staffs and organizations work together without boundaries and share a common heart... to care for those in need by showing them love and care without prejudice. If you don't know about Drakenstein Palliative Hospice... take a look at their website at: www.drakensteinpalliativehospice.org.za. They take the boundaries of "Palliative Care" to a place that helps redefine what a Hospice should be.
