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

4th of july at the village of hope

mel, tyler and britton celebrate
the 4th of july with our children
this morning we were greeted by a rendition of 'the star spangled banner' by two of our three volunteers from the USA who are celebrating some sort of independence day?!, they have been busy making crowns and flags with the children and can be seen here with some of the house moms on what must be a very special day for them.

later we are going to be having a 'braaibbq' (yes that is a word) with hot dogs and hamburgers (all the way from hamburg, which is in germany!), along with lots of scary fireworks which i am sure the children will love, we hope!.

to all our american volunteers (i mean those from north america, not including canada), where ever you are in the world, we just want you to know that we are thinking about you today...no really we are!
