In a nation that has the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS in the world, ThembaCare cares for infants and children who have been diagnosed as terminally ill with AIDS.
Somerset West is the closest large towns near Grabouw (Themba Care) and volunteers working on the Thembalitsha Project in Grabouw can consider Mooring House Guest Lodge as their base for accommodation purposes whilst assisting with the project. With affordable rates the guest house offer 8 rooms all with own entrance and private en-suite bathrooms and is therefore suitable for teams or small groups helping at ThembaCare Grabouw.
During June 2008, Mooring House Guest Lodge in Somerset West hosted 2 teams from the Dallas Trinty Church in Texas (USA). The 1st team stayed for 2 weeks and the 2nd team for a week, both teams consisting of 7 volunteers each who assisted with the outreach programmes in the Thembalitsha Project. Mooring House offers reduced rates for groups involved in volunteer mission work offering suitable and spacious accommodation for the volunteers during their stay. By offering reduced rates, the guest house ensures it's contribution to the programme ensuring more funds are available for the actual cause rather than spent on accomodation.
What the team had to say:
"Our team of 7 ladies spent 2 weeks at Mooring House. The rooms were so spacious and daily cleaned excellently. We had plenty of hot water for all of us to shower at once. The view and grounds are beautiful and located very conveniently to sites, mall, etc. Garry and Miriam prepared wonderful breakfasts for us and coordinated with our schedule just as we needed. The hosts also gave us excellent recommendations for shopping, laundry, eating out and they personally aided us when two of our group became ill. Their service to us went beyond the "call of duty". They provided help and answers for our every need. I hesitate making this review only because I hope Mooring House won't become so popular that I won't be able to get a reservation in the future. I would not stay anywhere else when visiting the Cape Town area. We all hope to return."
