This month we had a team of 18 come and visit from Bournemouth Community Church to spend 2 weeks with us. They came bringing childrens clothing, medical supplies and willing hearts to help and love these children.
We had a great time and made some friends for life! The team was very diverse in age, life style and talents and all had different things to bring to the table when it came to working with the children and Project O staff. We laughed, we cried we worked them hard!!!!! All came willing , all left changed.
I'm pretty sure that many of them have fallen in love with South Africa and its people, and most have promised to come back.
It is so exciting for us to have so many people come here to visit and to watch as they have their hearts broken and their lives rocked and then to see them catch the vision and run with it. This team have really encouraged us as an organization and as individuals.
We are so thankful for their love and support and can't wait for next years team!

As part of the team I want to say a huge thanks to Martin and Vashti for their hospitality and patience.
I and my eldest son, Matt(who came with me) have both spent hours sharing stories and memories with each other, family and friends about all we saw and experienced in our short tinme in Durban. Our lives have been changed forever and both of us cannot wait to come back...especially to see how the "valley project" is coming along.
M and V - You guys are God's gift to the 1000 hills.
See you in 2009
Love to the boys!!! If you ever need a nanny - Matt's number is.....
Greg and Matt
