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

xenophobic concerns

once again the ugly head of xenophobia hangs over the small town of grabouw, the wider western cape and even the whole of south africa. two years ago there were outbreaks of xenophobia in grabouw and there was a report in yesterdays cape argus that 'foreign nationals' are once again being targeted, see this link to the article which includes a piece about grabouw.

please pray for our nation, especially as the world cup comes to an end, the major concerns about the 12th july and that peace, tolerance and justice would prevail.
