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

mid-cities team enjoy their week long trip

the team at the top of sir lowry's pass
last saturday morning we were joined by 7 young ladies from the mid-cities church in midland, texas, joined us at the village of hope for a week long stay, during the week they were able to bless our community in many different ways, on wednesday afternoon they lead the service at thembacare, grabouw, and gave out goodie bags to our staff, they also helped out with a sports outreach in iraq squatter camp, played with our wonderful babies and children in the unit and completed some much needed maintenance around the 'farm'.

for some of them it was their second visit to work with thembalitsha and for others it was their first time, we were once again sad to say our goodbyes as they made their long trip home, but we hope to see them again in the very near future.
