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

Arron arrives home with the YWAMers!!

on saturday we picked up 20 young people from around the world who have come out to serve with us in our sports/schools outreach. the team are from YWAM in harpenden and have been on their dts (discipleship traning) for three months and are raring to go as they serve the most needy and underprivileged kids in our town.

our son arron is part of that team and it was great to see him after his time in england, he is looking good and will be a great asset to the team.

so far they have run sports sessions at 4 of our afternoon clubs and today have started their 2 1/2 week schools work. six of them are placed at a farm school in the elgin apple region and 11 of them are working in a school in town with 'difficult learners' and those with special needs....

....we will keep you further informed of their progress over the next 9 weeks and look forward to sharing some amazing stories with you. please pray for them as they seek to make a real impact into the children's lives both in the schools and community work that they will be doing
