SVD – Instituti Missiologici Societatis Verbi Divini

This evening a talk on HIV and the church at the SVD institute for missionary work in Siegburg – St. Augustin. A lively debate and the clear message at the end that we still have to go a way until we accept HIV positive people, also priests and religious without any stigma into the church. Also the question of vocations of HIV positive persons has potential for quite a debate amongst  those in charge of the ministries of the church. It is good to know that religious orders are keen to get involved within the church with these questions.

BUGA 2011

A very exciting day in Koblenz - Germany

AIDS Action Day @ the BUGA (Federal Flower Show) in Koblenz Germany. A great day with lots of info, good music and attentive listeners.

Thanks to the AIDS Hilfe Koblenz, Woodstaudt and the Hildegard von Bingen Schule for their input and support of HOPE Cape Town, but also to make such a day possible.

Also thanks to the administration of the Federal Flower Show to allow such a day and make us all feel welcome and at home during the day.

More information either at your local AIDS Hilfe in Koblenz for local support or at www.hopecapetown.com for info on the work of HOPE Cape Town.

Donations from USA!?

The world is becoming a village – and HOPE Cape Town has been also approached by other persons in other countries who are willing to support the fight against HIV and AIDS in South Africa.
One problem we are facing is that we don’t have the appropriate USA tax number and so being enabled to issue tax -deductible receipt. If somebody reading this knows of any NGO or PBO in the USA, who would be interested in cooperate in different fields, but also channel funds in a legal and tax-deductible way from USA to South Africa, please let me know.
The prospective partner NGO or church or entity should be well established and interested in the work in Africa.
