It's quieter than usual at Happy House as quite a lot of our children have gone on home
As this is the last week of the school holidays, those youngsters who have relatives who are able to give them a few days in their homes, are back in the community.
Not all are able to go, but where it is at all possible we encourage visits and enable them to happen.
Uncle Ronnie, our social worker, said: "Our aim is to see the bond between our kids and their people back home is maintained and strengthened.
Sometimes we have to give them bus fares and even food tol support them for the days they will be at home.
To those who remain at Happy House, Mama normally have special treats for them for the whole week.
This ensures they feel special and do not miss their friends being around. We always explain to them why they are not able to go.
Almost half of our kids went home this week and they will be back Monday. In the meantime, I check up regularly to make sure all is ok with those who are not here."
School resumes on Wednesday next week, so those who have been on visits will have a full day to prepare themselves for the new term.
