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

jolly hockey sticks

the girls had left before we took this photo!
farm outreach kids with mariana (volunteer)
our recent long term volunteer, simon, donated a wonderful hockey set to our sports outreach programme which we are truly grateful for. last week we used this for the first time in anger at our sports project at a local farm and the children really loved it.

it was great to see both boys and girls playing together, thankfully the sticks and ball are made out of plastic and that saved, what surely would have been, a trip to the local hospital. we will use these again on other afternoons at the 5 other clubs we run, however some of the surfaces are less than conducive than the wonderful grass that the farm children are blessed with.

thanks simon and we hope you like the photo!
