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

kids monkey around!

yesterday was a public holiday to celebrate human rights day, not one that we are familiar with in england but i understand that we remember the sharpeville massacre which took place on 21st march 1960.

with the children being out of school for the day, maz, mel, eveleen and two of our house moms took our children down to monkey town in strand, where they had a great time with the animals, enjoyed a picnic at the playground which included a real car for them to play in and then they visited the beach at gordon's bay for an ice cream.

as you can see from the photos the children had a wonderful time and the weather was perfect.
