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

moving into new homes


yesterday myself and maz had the pleasure of spending the morning moving a family into their new home in rooidakkes (and it only took me three trips using the back of my pick up to do that), in grabouw, the family, who include a young girl who spent sometime at the village of hope children's unit, have been living in a tin shack for many years, it was amazing to see them enter their new home for the first time.....unfortunately we had to demolish the banisters on the staircase (yes the home has two floors!) to get the bed up to the second floor but hey that's easy to fix.

lets hope and pray for more homes to be completed soon and thus help with the health and welfare of the poor and needy in our town.
