Meet our latest group of volunteers! As you can see, they were so full of energy and enthusiasm that it was a challenge to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.
Something special happened with this group during training, as it often happens: it became about so much more than just learning. Through honest conversations and deep listening, a real sense of belonging and friendship developed. We were all a bit sad to see the week end!
These volunteers won’t just be helping with hospice work; they’ll also be active in our frail care unit and various community projects. Slowly but surely, we are building a compassionate community where we all look out for one another.
Some of them even joined our residents from Siesta and Omega for a trip to the Botanical Gardens—and what a fun day it was! 🤗🤗

Julle doen sulke goeie en noodsaaklike werk, Hanneke Lubbe! Ek sien uit daarna om na julle te kom luister hier in Westerbloem aankomende week. Liefdegroete Mariana Nel.
What a week! We laughed, cried and learned a lot from the best, not only our goal as being a volunteer, but only alot about ourselves. Looking forward to the journey ahead xxx
I thought I had an idea of how I might be able to help when I signed up to volunteer with Hospice – but after spending time with the incredible staff and volunteers, I realised it’s so much more than I imagined. This past week we shared honest conversations, a lot of laughter, some tears… and the start of new friendships between women from all walks of life. Being able to spend time with the residents from Siesta and Omega, including our visit to the Botanical Gardens, was truly special. I feel very grateful to be part of this compassionate community and I’m looking forward to the journey ahead.
Ek salueer julle elkeen. Die wat opeidig gee en elkeen wat bereid is om te leer. Julle doen 'n ongelooflike werk
Julle doen goeie werk 😃
'n Besondere groep vroue met elk die mooiste eienskappe. Dankie vir 'n uitmuntende vrywilligerskursus onder leiding van Hanneke Lubbe en gassprekers. The course has enriched me immensely. I have most definitely grown into more self awareness of this community and the important role we all play in life with each other.
If I could I would. Keep up the good work..
Hanneke what a honer it is to be part of this group. Everybody is very special 💞You are amazing🫶💌. You said it all and as I walked this week with this group I actually learned my own inner self aswell as how to be there for people needed others. Thank you soo much for you time and be so special. I'm sorry that I missed Friday's outing.
What an amazing week this was! Thank you Hanneke Lubbe and your team, and every special person I've met this week. I am looking forward to this journey!
And what an enriching experience it was (again). Thank you, Hanneke Lubbe. Met a lot of wonderful, compassionate team members! Looking forward to this journey and to be part of something so meaningful.

Ons eie dokter, Dalene van Jaarsveld, verjaar vandag, en ons vier haar behoorlik, want ons is bly en dankbaar oor haar!
So, wie is Dalene? Nie net is sy passievol oor haar werk nie, maar deel haar kennis en ervaring ruimhartig met die hele span sodat dié wat saam met haar werk elke dag verryk word. Dalene is 'n ware kampvegter vir palliatiewe sorg, en werk vanuit die oortuiging dat dit 'n basiese mensereg is om pasiënte toegang tot hierdie sorg te bied. In haar eie woord: "Mense, ons kan nie ophou nie - ons pasiënte het ons nodig!"
Dalene, ons volg jou met entoesiasme en dankbaarheid op hierdie pad! En vandag eet ons koek saam met jou!🙌🎂🎉

Thank you so much! We are again so grateful for the support we've received from the community! We've asked for water tanks - and within a few days tanks were delivered.
It is such a privilege to be part of a compassionate community that cares!🙏
In particular we would like to thank Dr Deepa Alexander, and the dear "person who doesn't want to be be mentioned' for their generosity and kindness. We are truly so blessed.🙏❤️

Our nurses will do everything to provide the best possible care to our patients - even if that means that they have to expand their knowledge in palliative care and start studying again! This year one of our nurses, Rianca Roux, took up the opportunity to do the 9month certificate course in palliative care through the APCC Assoc of Palliative Care Centres and UCT - and we are already proud of her!
Every Thursday morning she takes her place in front of the computer and join the on-line class, with her colourful pens ready for notes! Just look at that motivation!🤗🙌🖍📝🖇
