I took these photos on the way to the D Hani creche last week. We had to go down a few km’s of dirt road passing recycling centres, scrap yards and an old mine dump to get there and we passed 2 guys burning a tyre on the side of the road so we stopped.

Very cool pics J… That first one has such a mood to it.
Amazing photo’s.
You seriously get the coolest pics!
I’ve really had quite a run of charity work lately. This is the last for this year though. A colleague told us about this creche in Soweto that was started by an amazing lady, and as a result of what we found out about it, we also collected toys and clothes for this school. I...

what an amazing woman, i love it when stories like these get told
What an amazing woman! I used to come across stories like these when I worked years ago – wonder if that department still exists – I don’t think so 
Well done. Why don’t you have a fund raiser for this and when you return in the new year, you could have something to take to them? I’ll help out if you want.
You are making a difference !!!
So many heart breaking stories all around us. It’s times like this I wish I had Bill Gates’ money so I could help out the way I want to.
wow – you’ve met some awesome people lately
people who make a change
this must be very fulfilling for you indeed.

Laura volunteered to organise a Christmas party for a Childrens Home for Johannesburg Child Welfare a few months ago, and since then has organised donations of gifts, food and money to get the party off the ground. She also asked me to take photos on the day… and was thrilled to say yes as the...

Increadible pics.
Wow… what a heartbreaking and inspirational story! LOVE the photies J!
lovely pics …. please send H my love … have not heard from her for ages ….
it’s a post that blows my mind, and breaks my heart at the same time. It makes me so emotional. I simply can not fathom the suffering of children in this world….Folks like Hannah are angels on earth. thank you for sharing.
She certainly is an amazing woman. I believe it takes someone very special indeed to take on the role as “foster mother”. So sad that the “young” mothers have to sleep around for food etc. I’m certain I can find clothes, blankies and toys – will contact you to deliver. Very, very kind of you to get involved – I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. Lovely pics!
Lovely photo’s. It is always sad to read about the plights of children in our society today. It angers me that these mothers end up having more and more unwanted children, why do society allow it? just to mistreat or abandoned them!
On a happier note, love your new profile photo.
Tanya, she looks after kids ranging in age from 4 months old to 12 years old at the moment (boys and girls)
heartbreaking and inspirational all at once!
i LOVE the little girl in red, with the toothy smile – shes so pretty!
When you say “older kids” jeanette… about what age group is this?
Such brilliant photos with a very emotional story behind each one. One wishes we could help and save them all.
Fee, they get so many things for babies, and she asked the last time I went for older kids clothes. They’re always needing clothes for the older kids that live there, and for the lost little souls that seek refuge there on weekends.
I’m all choked up reading this Jeanette. Hannah is definitely an angel living on earth. She sounds amazing and the children are very blessed to have her looking out for them. I have alot of Ethan’s old clothes that I can donate too?
Oh my word what an incredible story and what an amazing woman. You moved me to tears, but better still to help! Will go through the house this weekend and get together anything that I think would be of use…
