Addington Children's Hospital is being revamped!
I was asked recently to give a talk on my photos taken at the hospital. People were interested to see what I taken, and to also hear the experiences. I was so excited, and a little nervous!
I was even more excited to learn that the funding needed to restore the old premises had been raised, and that Phase 1 of a five year project had already been built!
In 2009, when I took my photos, the situation was dire and depressing. Talk was that the land was going to be used as a casino, and the buildings torn down. In 2010, ahead of the World Cup Soccer, there was talk of the hospital being revamped, and that there would be a new children's hospital. I never expected anything to come of that talk.
Until I did some research on my presentation, and was surprised to discover that not only had some funding been raised to start the building, part of the construction had already been completed! The restoration of the main building had also begun! How wonderful!
