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

so you think you are safe?

a report from the BBC web site confirms that HIV and AIDS are the main causes of death in women..........when will the world wake up to the fact that if this disease is not controlled we will all be at risk of infection......infection doesn't necessary lead to death as we see with the patients and children we work with.....but the disease is spreading, people are still dying at a rate of over 1000 per day here in south africa.....we can make a difference, with education and the right medication...would you like to help us?.....
