Interview with Glenda Williams, Co-ordinator, iThemba Lethu

"iThemba Lethu" means "hope" or "destiny" in Zulu so it’s a fitting name for Glenda Williams' organization, which takes in orphaned and abandoned babies in South Africa. Originally established as a transitional home to reassure mothers who were dying of AIDS that their children would be cared for, iThemba Lethu now cares for many babies and children, helping them find permanent, loving homes.
