Hi all. Mr Cornelissen was so kind to inform me that we can take goods over the weekend to the Fire department in Cluver way – it is opposite Simonsrust Spar. A friend and I went to the area this afternoon….and there is seriously nothing but burned furniture left; not a pretty sight.
As a wise chap once said: “Be the change you want to see”. Blessings
Hello, firstly my thoughts for the families affected by the fires. I’m now living in the UK and today is a national fund raising day ‘Red Nose’ Day organised by Comic Relief – the funds are for both the UK and overseas. I would hope that the families from Kayamnandi would be able to appeal for funds. This is their link to their message page http://www.rednoseday.com/contact-us. I’ve written to them, hoping this may be a useful link. Kind regards Shauna and family
