It was heart warming to see the smiles in the children’s faces, the hugs and love we received was overwhelming. Thank you for having us!!! Masigcine (which means, "let us cherish") is a registered Children’s Home, in Mfuleni, where 28 orphaned, abandoned and HIV infected little children between the ages of 3–months and 6–years of age live. These children are referred to Masigcine by Social Workers via the Children’s Court. See the pictures below.
