Hi everyone 💛 A big KVDK hug to you all from Kinders van die Kaap (KVDK)!
It’s time to share a little of what we’ve been up to over the past month. February was extra special for us and our precious children.
We had the absolute blessing of welcoming a second visit from our overseas friends/ family from Amsterdam, Henny van der Graaf, who specializes in children’s trauma, and her husband Wilko van der Graaf , a retired adult mental health specialist. Their love for our children and their heart for what we do at KVDK has been truly humbling and deeply gratifying. Their unwavering support to us started during Covid / Lockdown.
February was all about play therapy. The timing of their visit couldn’t have been more perfect, as launching play therapy is our next priority project for our Kinders van die Kaap. Through guided play, we witnessed moments of love, healing, patience, joy, fun, and renewed hope.
These pictures tell a beautiful story, one of little hearts being gently supported and reminded that they are safe, valued, and deeply loved.
We also had the opportunity to visit Hannah's Home of Safety with our visitors & together we gifted the babies with clothes & toiletries. KVDK also gifted the staff with some self care goodies.
Watch this space 🌟 We are currently in the process of seeking sponsorship to build our very own Play Therapy Center at our head office. This dream is for our children, a dedicated safe space where healing can happen through play.
Thank you Henny & Wilko & family for walking this journey with us and for believing in our mission. Together, we are building brighter tomorrows.
