Gay Lagardien
Our Acting CEO retreated into retirement this month after serving FOCHA for five years in different capacities, first as bookkeeper, then finance manager and over the last two years as CEO.
Gay is the kind of person that you meet and after five minutes feels like you know her for years. We had a great working relationship and this allowed the team to deliver quality services to our clients. She showed great leadership and tenacity to guide FOCHA through a difficult period where we had to manage our organisation without the backing of a major donor.
Thank you Gay for the opportunity to have worked with you, we will surely miss you.
Enjoy your life of leisure š
From the GB, staff and volunteers at FOCHA
Today āTHE FRIENDS OF THE CHILDRENāS HOSPITAL ASSOCIATIONā remembers the enormous contribution our Patron Chester Williams made by influencing the lives of our patients at the Red Cross War Memorial Childrenās Hospital. His passion and commitment to drive the FOCHA agenda, to reduce anxiety and to make their stay in hospital less traumatic, truly impacted the lives of sick children. Together with his wife Maria they visited and played with patients, did radio interviews to promote FOCHAās work and attended events to share their passion and commitment to our vision and mission. Our movement will surely miss him and wish Maria, his family and the children well.

As the world reflects on Nelson Mandelaās legacy, we give thanks for his life, his leadership and his devotion to humanity and to humanitarian causes.
Marie Teacher spent her with The Friends of the Children's Hospital Association and had an amazing time playing with some of the little patients. She intends to spend a lot more time volunteering at this hospital in the future. What an absolute honor it was to be able to serve others. We encourage you to do the same and get involved in your community and assist those in need. Every bit counts, whether it's Mandela Day or not ā¤ļø #2019

A beautiful message sent to us from The Friends of the Children's Hospital Association -
"Dear Management and Staff of ArtLab
Thank you so much for your wonderful donation of pretty fabric. Your gift is much appreciated and will be used to make new aprons and tablecloths. Our staff and volunteers move around the hospital providing refreshments to the families attending the clinics so new aprons and tablecloths for the trollies will be splendid! Thank you for your support and thank you for showing such kindness.
Each child deserves to be happy after the traumatic experience of hospitalisation. We, therefore rely on the support of the community to fulfil this wish.
Your donation is extremely important to us and most especially to our children at the Red Cross War Memorial Childrenās Hospital. We need and value your continuing support. Thank you once again."
Yours sincerely
