EIL Intercultural Learning

A few months ago, there seemed to be noone willing or able to look after I and as for L, it was thought that he would be in hospital for years.... but now...

L...the two and a half year old who was admitted to the Chest hospital with drug resistant TB is being discharged and going back to ThembaCare! Initially we were told he would be there for a possible two years. He has responded very well to the treatment and will continue on his TB medication. Hopefully he will go back to ThembaCare for a just few weeks and then one of his aunts might take him...fingers crossed. Leo had been visiting L on my request, but now visits him once a week because he is mad about him :) 

And I, the one and a half year old, has just been discharged from ThembaCare and is living in the Eastern Cape (Cape Town is in the Western Cape) with his grandmother. I have been in contact with his father who is now living just an hour away from him. The last day I saw I, his dad was moving away, now I am delighted that I has a grandmother to take care of him and his father living very close by. I am posting over some clothes and toys to him and have already sent stuff to L (his first pair of shoes!) and am so glad that I can contribute in some way (even though I would secretly love to take both boys home with me!).
