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

new boys and 10 year old returns!

today we have the very exciting news that we have been joined at the village of hope by two wonderful little boys, these brothers have been stopping at our thembacare unit in athlone and have been placed with us as we can provide longer term care. please pray for these little ones as we welcome them into our home....now with out unit full again we have 9 children living with us and 15 that we have placed back into families in the community.

the other bit of great news is that our 10 year old boy who had been in red cross children's hospital with a severe lung infection and who was on oxygen for a whole week, with the expectation that he would remain on oxygen for the rest of his life!, has arrived back with us and is once again full of beans!

thanks be to God who continues to watch over all our little ones and thanks for your support which enables us to make a real difference in these children's lives.
