“After all these years, I’m still shocked to see what we saw today. Two babies at two maternity wards with only a nappy on and in a pillowcase. After we dressed them, they looked so cute! The mums were grateful,” said BLB founder Caty Coetzee Pieterse.
“We handed out 10 parcels at the maternity wards, and 34 at the clinics. We also handed out very big, soft toys to sick children at the clinics (they weren’t suitable for babies).”
