Summary: A.i.d.s. Girl’s Mother Relieved (Press, 2 August 1986)
On 2 August 1986, Gloria van Grafhorst expressed her relief regarding the acceptance of her four-year-old daughter, Eve, into the Rudolf Steiner School in Hastings. Eve is known to be a carrier of the A.I.D.S. virus, which has raised concerns among some parents. Gloria stated that she is “relieved that the waiting is over” and praised the school for treating Eve as a normal pupil. The school board and teachers had deliberated for nearly two months before making their decision. Last week, Eve's 13-year-old sister, Dana, also began attending the school and has reportedly settled in well. Due to the decision to accept Eve, two or three families have expressed intentions to withdraw their children from the school. Eve will be starting her kindergarten at the Rudolf Steiner School for five mornings a week once the third term commences on 15 September. This decision marks a significant development for the van Grafhorst family amid the challenges they face.
