The staff of
Global Fund Coordinating Unit (GFCU)
commemorated World AIDS Day with abandoned and
neglected children whom some of them are living
with HIV at Beautiful Gate orphanage home in Ha
Thetsane in Maseru on Monday December 1, 2008.
As part of commemoration, staff contributed some
money from their pockets and some from the
office that was used to buy Christmas clothing,
shoes and toys for children and also bought
other needs requested by Beautiful Gate namely
printer, Glugometer and its accessories used to
measure sugar diabetes, first aid kit, staff
masks, baby blankets, towels, hair clipper and
one baby car-sit.
During the day, staff volunteered to wash
curtains and play with children at the home.
Speaking at the occasion, the GFCU Coordinator
Mrs. Nkhala Sefako said the GFCU staff finds it
worthy to commemorate World AIDS Day with
destitute children at the orphanage home and
present them with Christmas gifts so that they
could also enjoy the festive holiday like any
other children.
On behalf of Beautiful Gate, the management
thanked the GFCU staff for responding to their
special request of buying Glugometer facility
that is used to test sugar diabetes especially
at this time when sugar diabetes is rampant
among children as well as adults.
“We would also like to express our appreciation
on behalf of children for Christmas clothing,
shoes and toys. May God bless the hand that
gives so that you can be able to give others
needy people in future,” said one of orphanage
staff.
She said it is a good feeling to know that they
are not alone in caring for orphans and
neglected children but there are people out
there who remember children in orphanage homes
and visit and buy gift for them.
