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

running for new hope...

my sister, vicki knight, who couldn't complete a 1 mile cross country at school without having a break and walking with her giggling school friends, is taking part in the coniston plus race tomorrow in the wonderful english lake district, 16 and 1/2 miles in one go! yes that it amazing enough but she is doing it to raise funds for the work that we (at the village of hope) and the wider thembalitsha foundation are doing as we seek to make a positive difference to those less fortunate than ourselves.

if you have a few pounds, cents, dollars to spare then please visit her justgiving site and make a donation...this won't only make her run faster and further but will help us too!

p.s i was the cross country runner of our family but i seem to only be able to manage anything cross country these days in my toyota hilux 4x4...how things have changed!
