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

we lose the dutch students but their team plays on!


wow what an amazing result, the dutch football team make it through to the semi final of the 2010 world cup beating brazil 2-1, this on a day when we had to say our sad goodbyes to our most recent students from the HAN university in holland who have been working with us at both the village of hope project with our children in the unit and out in the community with our sports outreach. the last to leave were cheryl and maike who have been furthering their sports management studies here in grabouw.

so the dutch team may have left grabouw but they will stay forever in our hearts and minds and we wish their football team all the best in their pursuit of the 2010 world cup!
