Whenever we receive news that the youngest patients at the KHMH are recipient of gift packages it is usually adults doing the kind gesture but this morning we met a large group of children no older than six years older carrying bags of treats for their peers recovering at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital. The boys and girls are from St. Luke’s Methodist Primary School and because of their age they were unable to visit the children’s ward but the visit which was also to commemorate children’s day was heart warming to say the least and no doubt brought some smiles to those boys and girls at the KHMH who are not feeling well at this time.

Carol Martin, Teacher – St. Luke’s Methodist
“For many years we’ve been celebrating Children’s Day inside the school but we thought about the children inside the hospital today and we said why not take gifts to them so they can also have an opportunity to see what Children’s Day is like.”

Jacqueline Godwin,
“So what gifts are in that bag?”

Carol Martin,
“We have school supplies, books, colouring books, pencils, a little toy for boy or girls.”

Jacqueline Godwin,
“And what’s the importance of Children’s Day?”

Carol Martin,
“Just so children feel that they are important and that they are special.”

And we are sure for the twenty five children at the KHMH who received their bag of gifts they felt extra special today.
