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

beanies for babies

a visit from huis groenland
the lovely folks from the local home for the elderly, huis groenland, visited the village of hope today and came bearing gifts which they had made for our children who are currently staying with us and also some of those we have successfully placed back into the local community.

the photo shows the children with their new hand knitted beanies, which will bless them as the play outside in the colder winter weather, and we are looking forward to dressing them in their new tracksuits which were also made for them, in the near future. the visit and the time taken to make these clothes was much appreciated and we were also able to enjoy a cake with one of the ladies who was celebrating her birthday today which was nice.
