Dean Saffron: Door of Hope

Some time ago, it came to our attention that in greater Johannesburg alone, 40 to 50 babies are abandoned every month and left to die of starvation or exposure.

In August 1999 we installed a "hole in the wall" or "baby bin" in the wall of the Mission Church, where babies can be placed 24 hours a day. A sensor alerts the people in the house whenever a newcomer has arrived. We will come to fetch the baby and will thereafter begin caring for him/her.
