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

gateway to the great outdoors!


justin and the sunset

our mission team (all three of them, justin, sue and amanda) from gateway ministries in aylesbury have almost come to the end of their very short trip with us. we hope that they have had a good time, we have certainly kept them busy with some DIY work that needed to be completed here at the village of hope and some spirtitual things in our community.

painting the front entrance wall!
each of their days has been very varied, from playing with the children in our unit, to painting the front entrance wall which was showing some signs of the winter weather, leading the thembacare service on wednesday afternoon and helping our with community work at thembacare, our sports outreach clubs and soup run. we also got time to travel down to false bay to watch the sunset, as you can see justin enjoyed himself.

we hope that this will be the first of their trips to serve us and we look forward to seeing them very soon when we (me and maz) return to the UK later in the year on our 'fundraising tour'.
