 MY HOME: 787 Kwena Drive, Mogwase, North West Province, South Africa. POSTAL ADDRESS: P.O. Box 1494, Mogwase 0314. My Home is a house with a mum Lorette and a dad Peter who both look after 25 children between the ages of 0 months and 25 years old. Lorette Erasmus and Peter Erasmus are mum and dad to each and every child staying at their house. The sad thing about the HIV/AIDS disease is that it leaves lots and lots of orphans behind who in their short lives have only known neglect, abuse and abandonment.  Lorette and Peter voluntarily started looking after children and young people at risk in their own family environment short and long term 24/7, three hundred and sixty five days per year. Efforts are made to maintain medical care provision. At present the majority of money donated goes directly to the welfare of the children.

 TSHOLOFELO: Koster, North West Province, South Africa. POSTAL ADDRESS: 2001 Letsholo Street, Reagile Location, Koster 0348. The focus of the work at Tsholofelo founded and strarted by Diana Metsinamere remains the care of local community children aged 3 - 6 who have been affected/infected by HIV/AIDS with the children live with extended families within the community, who give them shelter, or they live in young adult headed families who already have their own economic and social pressures that lead to the lack of food, clothing and basic early skills education.  Diana, her mother and local community volunteers provide daily love, attention, food, clothing, pre-primary educational activities in a stimulating environment Monday - Friday between 08.00am and 16.00pm school term time only because of the lack of funding. Running Tsholofelo from a tin-shack does create its own problems - the lack of a permanent toilet, drinking/washing water facility, and a pleasant play area are all planned requirements once funding donations are in place.

Tlohokomelo Health Centre was founded in 2004 by Mr. Isaac Masilo in the Village of Mabitse, which is part of the Royal Bafokeng Nation that falls under the Rustenburg Local Municipality Ditrict. The centre was founded to offer twenty four hour care to the poor and terminally ill in the area. Many of those targeted had been disowned by their family members or displaced from their accomodation because of their illness and consequently their inability to work.  The initial mission and goals of Tlhokomelo were to help those with HIV, TB, cancer, the poor, the homeless, orphans, and those suffering from old age and disability. Tlhokomelo was built from the ground up with no initial capital or resources with the initial patient recruitment coming from contacts and patients Mr. Masilo knew and had identified already. With the official opening of the centre there were already 500 outpatient clients and ten residential patients seeking care from the centre. Tlhokomelo serves over sixty in patients and well over one hundred day patients, most of whom are HIV positive.
