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

holiday time at the village of hope


yesterday we had a visit from a team of guys who attend the his people church in baxter, cape town, tracy and her friends came up to the village of hope to entertain the children during their holiday time.

we took the opportunity to invite a few of our 'ex' children (those who we have successfully placed back out with their families or foster families in the grabouw area) to come and join in the fun.

it was great to see how much the children have grown and developed since they left us, it was great to see them playing with their old friends and enjoying all the activities that tracy and the team had set up for the morning.

we just want to thank the team from baxter for being willing to make the trip over the mountain to visit us and make our children's holiday time a little brighter.
