Barnswallows Care Centre for abandoned babies opened its doors in November 2009 in Weltevredenpark, Roodepoort.  Our first pair of swallows arrrived on November 5th- twins - a boy and a girl!

Born at 30 weeks and weighing 1,1 Kg each, these prembabies needed special care.  They were in and out of hospital, with pneumonia, diarrhoea and measles.  The little girl, unfortunately, passed away in hospital just after Christmas. 

All our babies are special babies.  Each one receives individual attention, love, care and stimulation.  Every baby brought to our home is treated according to the requirements of each case.  We know that a time might come for every swallow to leave, that is why we make the most of every opportunity to love these babies, to raise them as our own, and to prepare them for life.
