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

international soccer saturdays! (and daz out injured)


yesterday we held the second of the five sports saturdays taking place at pineview park in grabouw during the duration of the FIFA 2010 world cup. once again over 300 children enjoyed a fun packed morning which included a netball tournament, face painting, dance and music as well as a football competition which included 2 teams from ashfield school in northern ireland who are visiting south africa on a school trip.

it was great for our local township children to have some international opposition and to the irish boys credit they made it through to the under 15 final where they were beaten 3-0 by our rooidakkes team....see photo.

unfortunately during an after hours game played between the YWAM students and a mish mash of VOH volunteers daz suffered a leg injury which has left him on crutches, pls pray for a swift recovery for him.
