It has turned into something of a modern day miracle. Too few South Africans know what an incredible national and international asset we have in this hospital \u2013 it does the most wonderful work imaginable, saving children\u2019s lives, helping sickly children, giving parents hope and helping parents deal with grief. It\u2019s just incredible,\u201d Hill-Lewis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_d7abfdb2\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9836\/98233e3ad4c846158d54353bd0415cbf.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/326c718b0894403db6e9a202eb10f40f.jpg\" title=\"WO Class 2 Craig Austin Pitcher told People\u2019s Post he loved being part of the day, especially for the sake of the children.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">WO Class 2 Craig Austin Pitcher told People\u2019s Post he loved being part of the day, especially for the sake of the children.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9836\/0e09b51dd7f840409c07291833649d29.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/47c041e2a00a4fe6a9e01dd93de5e886.jpg\" title=\"The CEO of the Children\u2019s Hospital Dr Anita Parbhoo said every year the hospital, trustees, delegates and veterans come together to remember the servicemen and veterans of World War II who generously donated two days of their pay to help build the War Memorial Children\u2019s Hospital.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The CEO of the Children\u2019s Hospital Dr Anita Parbhoo said every year the hospital, trustees, delegates and veterans come together to remember the servicemen and veterans of World War II who generously donated two days of their pay to help build the War Memorial Children\u2019s Hospital.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9836\/fb0bc0ab4ea14cb9a84a315b3042abf9.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/d90fb5306a8649c9a5d250fdcba47532.jpg\" title=\"As this year\u2019s guest speaker, Cape Town\u2019s Executive Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis shared cherished memories of his grandfather, a war veteran, his mother, a nurse, and his own experiences as a 18-month-old patient at the Red Cross Children\u2019s Hospital\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">As this year\u2019s guest speaker, Cape Town\u2019s Executive Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis shared cherished memories of his grandfather, a war veteran, his mother, a nurse, and his own experiences as a 18-month-old patient at the Red Cross Children\u2019s Hospital<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9836\/4d25455edf5941a18972bb682f798fb0.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/517e9a848d52441fbb177788aad4a6b3.jpg\" title=\"Moth Members Robert Dixon and Barry Riddle were seen sharply dressed in their uniforms to commemorate Remembrance Day at Red Cross on Friday.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Moth Members Robert Dixon and Barry Riddle were seen sharply dressed in their uniforms to commemorate Remembrance Day at Red Cross on Friday.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9836\/d3331fd8f7654281b467d8febd561ac1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e1368aeb7a5b49c59fbb3b84b57df1d7.jpg\" title=\"On this special day, military dignitaries in regimental uniforms gathered on the hospital\u2019s premises to participate in a ceremony that pays homage to the visionaries behind this iconic medical institution.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">On this special day, military dignitaries in regimental uniforms gathered on the hospital\u2019s premises to participate in a ceremony that pays homage to the visionaries behind this iconic medical institution.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of conflict raging overseas, Hill-Lewis told <span><em>People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span>: \u201cI believe people are far too glib about how horrible war is and we forget that too easily. It should be avoided at all costs, especially when it has an impact on innocent children. I think\u2026 I hope everyone can agree on that, that children should not bear the brunt of these conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her turn, Chantel Cooper, CEO of the Hospital Trust, said: \u201cI\u2019m one of those people feeling the deeper impact of Remembrance Day at this time. As I was sitting and listening to the bag pipes playing Amazing Grace, I kept thinking: \u2018It\u2019s such a crazy world we\u2019re living in right now\u2019. Just hearing about conflict, war and lots of anger, bitterness and hatred; I think today was a good opportunity to reflect on the importance of history and why we are here. We are here to honour the many of those who fought various wars.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enduring spirit of giving, inspired by the founding war heroes, thrives within the Children\u2019s Hospital Trust. Legacies are one of the Trust\u2019s most critical sources of long-term funds. They enable staff to plan for the Hospital\u2019s future ensuring the legacy of the hospital is passed on to future generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The significance
