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

mandela day starts early for the children


the mandela day visitors
this coming wednesday we celebrate nelson mandela's 94th birthday with a nationwide 67 minutes of social action to commemorate the 67 years that nelson gave to fight human rights issues here in south africa.

there will no doubt be many visitors to the village of hope on the official mandela day on wednesday but today the local old age home run by ACVV came up to spend time with our children, they had made up goody bags which contained home made cookies, teddies and jumpers for all of our children.
doing their 67 minutes of social action!


the children had a wonderful morning with our special visitors and we hope that they provided a glimmer of hope for the future of this country to those in their senior years!


thanks for all your hard work ladies and thank you for coming to visit!
