Door Of Hope: Baby Check-In April 2024
As we embrace the changing seasons and the transformative power they bring, we find ourselves reflecting on the profound impact of our partnerships with our Talent Partners (our Clients) in support of the Door of Hope Children’s Mission in Johannesburg, South Africa. Through the #GAPGivesBack initiative, we’re proud to stand alongside this remarkable organization, and help in supporting their tireless efforts to provide love, care, and hope to abandoned children.
April has been a month of both joy and transition for the little ones at Door of Hope. We’ve witnessed the bittersweet moments of older toddlers being adopted into their forever families, marking the beginning of exciting new chapters in their lives. Whilst we celebrate the incredible opportunity these children now have, we also acknowledge the emotional adjustments faced by their friends and caregivers who have formed deep bonds over the years.
Baby Girl TM, one of our toddlers adopted this month, exemplifies the complex emotions that come with such a significant life change. As she embarked on her journey to her forever family, she carried with her the love and support of the GAP Talent team and Door of Hope community. Her thoughtful gesture of requesting a matching pink blanket for her special friend, Baby Girl M, serves as a poignant reminder of the unbreakable connections formed within the baby home.
April also brought its share of challenges, with a number of babies falling ill due to viruses circulating in the baby houses. The dedication and round-the-clock care provided by the caregivers during this trying time has been nothing short of remarkable. We extend our heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery to all the affected little ones, including Baby Boy B and Baby Boy N.
Despite the obstacles, we find solace in the resilience and progress of these precious children. Baby Boy B’s attempts at self-feeding and Baby Boy N’s growth and contagious smile serve as testaments to the incredible love and nurturing they receive at Door of Hope.
As we navigate through seasons of change, we draw strength from the steadfast support of our Talent Partners. Your commitment to our cause enables us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these children, providing them with a foundation of love, security, and hope where there once was none. Thank you.
Until our next update, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and well wishes to all.
Ian, Tony, Faye, and the entire GAP Talent Team
