Volunteering Grace (SA)

Grace’s husband passed away in 2007 and left her to care for her 3 children and also her late husband’s brother.  He provided a very good income and now she runs a shop out of her house.  After he passed away she got tested and found herself to also be positive.  She began volunteering for the orphans in her community in 2008 because she felt it is her responsibility as a person who is HIV positive to take care of the children left behind.  She speaks openly about her status and uses it to educate children and be an encouragement to them.  She says she feels honoured to be doing this work for God and is so encouraged by the way the children trust her and the impact she is having on their lives just by visiting them and teaching them about life.
