writes:
We would like to voice our heartfelt
thanks to the following people for assistance during the recent fires – for
food, sweets, prayers, support, SMS’s, calls, e-mails and prayer groups
throughout the whole country; Cape Nature, the fire fighters, Piet van Zyl, our
neighbours and McGregor community.
Thank you for the donations from
Robertson Super Spar.
We are thankful for food, water, cold
drinks, fruit and feed for the live stock, as well as graders from Môreson that were made available.
The Farmers came to assist with our
harvest after the fire and made their dams available for scooping out water.
Thank you to all who were involved in
the arrangements and the people who risked their lives!

Attached is a blueprint from a local
McGregor resident for a possible way to help re-instate the Protea growth
and industry in McGregor – if anyone has expertise or contacts in this field,
please get in touch and we will liaise with the farmers etc.
