Our friends, Andreas and Gregor, visited HOPE Cape Town on 01 August 2013. HOPE and Future has been supporting and funding our work in Delft and Blikkiesdorp for many years.
A delegation of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden visited HOPE Cape Town. The institute is well known as members of the institute select the Nobel Prize laureate for medicine.
HOPE Cape Town staff, community workers, volunteers and Blikkiesdorp residents really got their hands dirty on 18 July, to make a difference on Mandela Day. Ground was cleared, vegetables planted and containers painted. And great fun was had by all!
HOPE Cape Town community health workers enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Heart of Cape Town museum. It was fascinating to hear the story of the world's first human heart transplant, and we felt proud that a team of South African health workers changed history that day! Many thanks to Christine and the Heart of Cape Town museum for hosting us.
Our community health workers are increasingly being exposed to the electronic age! Two groups of health care workers are studying the same material, one group using tablets and one using paper based methods. They will write tests at the end of each module and we will see how the groups compare.
