the village of hope seeks to help children infected or affected by hiv, aids and tb in two different ways: we have a 9 bed children's unit to support those infected by hiv and aids and we also run a community-based sports and lifeskills outreach in the informal settlements and squatter camps each afternoon.

this blog has been set up to allow the key members of the team at the village of hope to share their thoughts, photos and experiences as we work in the community of grabouw in south africa

birthdays and new children

today has been a special day at the village of hope, for one we celebrated our eldest childs 9th birthday, this little guy only joined us a couple of weeks ago so the team from thembacare althone came and joined us at his little birthday party......the team also bought over two new children for us to care for, a little 18 month old girl and a lovely little 2 year old boy.......it's amazing to spend time in the unit with these children, yes i (tim) even took time to feed a child this tea time!, and to see the village of hope provide a home to these little guys.

with the unit now up and running our costs are rising, providing meals, accommodation and care for these children costs money so if i could please encourage you to partner with us, the easiest way to do this is via justgiving or you could contact our team in the UK via our UK based website, all donations will go to the work that we are doing here on the village of hope and to the wider thembalitsha projects
