Medical students raise funds for Thembacare

Final-year MBChB students at UCT have raised R12 000 for a charity that looks after HIV-positive and other children in need.

A cheque was handed to Thembacare on 2 December.

The charity has two main establishments in the Western Cape, one in Bridgetown, Athlone, and the other in Grabouw. They recently bought a six hectare farm in Grabouw, and the donation will be used to buy cots for the paediatric unit they are currently renovating.
