The Lawson Brown School Interact Club of 1977 stepped in to assist. Peggy managed to get a diamond pendant donated from Gerald Rathkolb, which was raffled to raise more funds. The Municipal Health Department eventually passed part of the building for use. We later started collecting children from the Elizabeth Donkin Hospital and this continued until their children’s ward was closed. 10 Galway Rd, Heathfield, Cape Town, 7945

Chairs and tables were bought second hand with funds raised, and by February 1978 they were ready to open.
Both being teachers, these ladies went on the search of what was needed to help these children develop to their fullest potential. At that time, very little was available in South Africa and all literature, videos and help came from the USA and Europe.
