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

christmas present for maz


christmas may have passed last weekend but in true style our amazing friend matt walker arrives with something to blow us away.....maz has only been saying recently that she can never get to a computer, even in our new office, however today her dreams have come true as matt bought us a brand new laptop....this man has a wonderful heart of generosity and we want to thank him for all his love and support over this last year.

matt out


today we were visited by matt walker, an old friend and no relation, matt came out to visit us prior to and during the world cup 2010 and is an amazing football coach from england.....unfortunately whilst we were running our sports outreach at the KMP school in grabouw today matt twisted his left ankle and we spent the rest of the afternoon in the day hospital..the service was brilliant and matt was logged onto the system, x-ray'ed and plastered within an hour.

shame for matt who is a great sport, we wish him well as he returns to england on saturday..
