during the last week we have extended our warm (in more ways than one as the summer weather has certainly arrived with full force as well!) to two longer term volunteers. tim berger has joined us for two years from the USA, tim has a long relationship with the thembalitsha foundation where he has bought mission teams over to serve the charity in the past. tim has a real servant heart, which has been demonstrated as he lead his previous teams and he has shown that as he settles into his role here at the village of hope. we hope that tim will also be a blessing to the wider thembalitsha grabouw team which includes themabcare grabouw where his arrival has been waited with great expectation (by some of the ladies!). tim is a bit of a technophobe so don't hold your breath if you are expecting lots of updates!
our second longer termer is jess trigg, a proud yorkshire lass who will be focusing her attention into developing the children's daily activities during her 6 month stay with us. she is already a big hit with the children but is finding the weather a little bit different to the normal summer conditions that she is used to!

| heinrich and tim trying to coax the pig into leaving! |
as these two wonderful volunteers arrive we have sent our latest little piggy to be turned into food which will be used to feed our children in the unit, whilst it was a sad and somewhat fraught goodbye.....where a comical chase ensued with johan, heinrich and tim spending a hot hour trying to coax the pig into our trailer.....mr pig you will taste good.
