Buckle up! 2014 is flying by as we accelerate towards the year’s end. It’s been a bumpy journey with wonderful highs and some challenging lows – but we are staying on track through faith, hard work, dedication and, of course, bucket loads of help and support from our friends.
When all is said and done, PAAH is about the wellbeing, health and happiness of the babies in our care. It’s them and their future lives that bring smiles to our faces and ignite passion in us every day.
So while it’s not about the “numbers”, it is a great pleasure to be able to report on our progress and let you know that all the invested love and resources are carried with the little ones as they make the transition into family care.
