The Government began paying two Hope workers to work full time in Umtata helping to bring hope to people with Aids. HOPE worldwide helped me to be positive. They work together to help the growing number of people living with Aids to cope with all the related problems. Compassion goes in and says I'm with you. Sympathy says 'I wish I could carry your burden' Compassion says 'Cast your burden on me'.
Sympathy often irritates with many words.
Compassion helps and hears in quietness and understanding. Thandi uses her annual leave to train more volunteers for HOPE worldwide . She often finds people waiting for help when she returns to her house in the evenings and on the weekends. She has converted her garage at home into an office and a center for Aids support groups. A woman she counseled was the first to make her HIV status known within her own community.
