To celebrate Nurses Day, we packed 120 treat packs with chocolates, tea, coffee, etc.
We also included an encouraging message for each of them and an inspirational Activated magazine! These dear ones labour long hours and process a huge number of patients, many of whom need comfort, counsel, or special care. Yet they continue on cheerfully and faithfully, helping those who can’t help themselves. The surprise and thankfulness on their faces as they received their “Nurses Day Appreciation” was truly satisfying!
We visited four clinics, and when we got to the last one, it was already mid afternoon. The head nurse, remembering us from previous years, exclaimed “oh, you came! We thought you forgot about us!”
What a special reminder that these little gifts of love really do make an impact.

Finally, as our team got back to the mission, we discovered that in the meantime we’d been given several beautiful rainbow cakes!
We quickly turned around and went to surprise the nurses at a care centre for the elderly. (which cares for 160 patients) And surprised they were!
