the village of hope has been blessed with literally hundreds of volunteers since we took our first steps as a project nearly 3 years ago, they are the life blood of the work we do here and we love hosting people who want to get involved in the lives of the children that we serve, not only here on the project, but also in the community via our sports outreach and at our sister project thembacare in grabouw.
as you can imagine spending time serving certainly has in impact into many of our volunteers lives and over the years we hear stories from lots of them that speak about 'rediscovering themselves', 'understanding the love God has for africa' or 'Gods love for the children that we look after', but never in our wildest dreams did we ever consider that the village of hope would be a place where two young people not only found God in a deeper way but also found their partner for life.
on sunday evening we had a wonderful skype call with two of our volunteers, both of whom have served with us and with thembalitsha in the past, who over their summer break spent time with us again this year and, without it being too obvious to some of us, fell in love in a way that has meant that they have committed their lives and love to each other....yes that's right folks we could be seeing our first village of hope wedding in the very near future!
we are so please for tyler and britton, we wish them all the best for the plans for their wedding and hope that they might be able to join us for at least part of their honeymoon....well done guys you are true stars and we thank God that we were just a small part of your big story, God bless you both.
