Under their
caring and dedicated guidance the Home continued to expand and in
1962 they initiated the Sunbeam Lodge as a residential component
of the existing services.
The origin of Sunbeam Lodge dates back to 1956. That is the year that Pieter and Johanna Vos founded the original Sunbeam Home to provide a living centre to serve the needs of developmentally challenged children.
Under their
caring and dedicated guidance the Home continued to expand and in
1962 they initiated the Sunbeam Lodge as a residential component
of the existing services.
In 1966, Sunbeam Home was incorporated as a charitable, non-profit organization and in 1973 all programs were centralized into one institutiion known today as the Sunbeam Residential Development Centre. The Sunbeam Lodge remains a separate and private residential facility.
The quality of care and commitment that Pieter
and Johanna provided to their special children is still very
evident today under the leadership of their son John and his wife
Shabnam.
