Big thanks to everyone who got involved so far with this fantastic project. Thank you for bringing all the gifts and clothing, the good wishes and also thank you upfront for those riders and children that will be at the shop tomorrow [ Thursday ] at 9 for the short ride and gifts.

 

We will leave on a short ride and then who ever wants to go with us tomorrow afternoon MUST be at the shop at 3.30 sharp please.

If you do this next year I can contribute - we already donated our goods to another charity last month.

Thanks cbrunsdon.

 

We will keep you on our books for 2011. This is going to be a ongoing project.

Gifts and clothing are coming in fast. We will do more that one area for these poor people. Those of you that would like to bring some tins of food is also welcome. Lets make the smiles bigger and fill the tummies.We have received some cash donations and we are will buy some food hampers this afternoon.

Will fall in next year if I can...

 

Few years back I did a photoshoot at such an event... Guys I was glad I could hide behind my camera cause I cried like a child that day. Things we take for granted is such a great thing to these people. Even a can of Condensed Milk was a request as a gift.

 

It is good to see that there people are still caring for each other. Well done people.

CWC - thank you for doing something for the less fortunate! Think this is a great initiative and with future years and a lot more notice, i'm sure many more will get involved. I'd be happy to get friends to donate old toys and i'll send them down to you!

 

I unfortunately will have to sit this 1 out. Being a COW, i'd support but my bank account has been severely punished with charities already this year

 

Thought, with CPT being the home or the Argus, maybe do something that week/end when there will be 30000 vaalies there (blankets/clothes getting closer to winter)?

 

Well done CWC! :thumbup:

The big day is only a few hours away and still people is calling us asking if they can still bring something. I cant believe that so many peoples hearts are so big in supporting us in this new venture. Thanks so far to all of you. REMEMBER. The short toy ride will be at 9 from CWC. Then we will return and have a nice boerewors braai. At 15.30h we will leave by car to Ruyterwacht. You are all welcome to go with us and see these lovely people in need.

I have so much respect for what a are doing that not only will i do my best to support the charity but will support cwc with whatever i can and never will i ask for a better price on any product i buy from you. I really admire this. South Africa can do with more people like you!

Now we busy making up all the gifts and still people sending mails asking if they can still bring goods. Cyclist we LOVE you all. This is going to be another super Blessed day not only for all of us but also for a few family's and some gorgeous children.

We would also like to thank Robbie from Merida for donating this Titan MTB for our charity fundraiser this morning. This Titan mtb was auctioned out this morning at the charity ride. Thanks again to Robbie and Merida cycles.

It was amazing to be a part of this awesome event this morning. A few of the usual suspects first went out for a nice 60 km ride on the mountain bikes before getting the energy levels up again with a rooi ambulansie (aka Coca Cola).

 

I dropped some treats and toys at the shop yesterday and was very impressed by the amount of goods donated, but this morning there were a lot more. People delivered food, veg, clothes, etc. and it is just again a testimony to the human spirit. I have been involved with a friend of mine who is very active in social development in the Ruyterwacht "squatter camp" - sorry, but that is exactly what it is, and one can not believe the circumstances the individuals (especially the kids) are forced to live in. I told Melanie this morning that sometimes all of us need a bit of a reality check to fully understand what is going on in some communities.

 

I trust and believe that all of us would on a regular basis be part in more / similar projects. We have so much to be thankful for.

 

Thanks again to CWC for their initiative and setting the example.

What a nice day it was so far. We will leave the shop at 15.30h to go and deliver the gifts and food. We will have a braai with the people while the kids enjoy there gifts.

 

Thanks to all of you who has contribute to this wonderful day. We received so many gifts , toys, clothes and food that we have decided not to give everything out today. We will go to more unprivileged people just before Christmas to hand the balance out.

 

Those of you who still wants to give something is more than welcome to bring it to our shop until Thursday 23rd December. Even a tin of food like bake beans, bully beef ect will be good.

 

Your 1 tin will feed one stomach for Christmas. Thanks again to all of you. Whats this space for some nice pics.
