It’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind – ticking boxes, meeting deadlines, keeping things moving. But every so often, we need to pause. To reflect. And most importantly, to say thank you. Today, I want to take a moment to celebrate the unsung heroes of the Johannesburg Children’s Home.
To our powerhouse management team – thank you for keeping the engine running. To our social workers – you carry the weight of each child’s story and transform pain into healing and hope. Our efficient and effective fundraising team, you are the reason we can publish this newsletter. Your relentless efforts canvassing donations and keeping brand JCH relevant to current and prospective donors are world class.
To our ever-smiling maintenance crew – you literally keep the wheels turning, getting our kids to school and back safely each day. Our kitchen and laundry staff are the heartbeat of our home, making sure every child has clean clothes and nutritious meals.
To those who work directly with the children – our therapists, supervisors and child and youth care teams – your presence brings stability and love into young lives, and lays the groundwork for bright futures.
To our ECD staff – thank you for shaping young minds and building strong educational foundations. And to our donors – thank you for continuing to support our children through your generous contributions.
Each of you is a vital part of our home. Thank you for your heart, your dedication, and your unwavering care.
