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

stuffing rucksacks


yesterday we were delighted to welcome jo from england, with her nephew, along with amanda and her daughter from gordons bay (just down the road) onto the village of hope.


jo had read about our work on the 'stuff your rucksack' site, see link here, and bought over much needed items in her luggage. it was great to be able to show jo around the project and for her to see where the items were going to be used.

if you know of anyone coming over to south africa, or indeed anyone who is venturing anywhere around the world, then guide them to the stuff your rucksack site where the could link up with local charities and make a real difference to the charities working in the most desperate places in the world.

thanks jo!
