On the Goose Wine Estate, South Africa, the local students at the Primary School on the farm were surprised by wonderful needy gifts of clothing and toys this past week.

Retief`s wife Tracy initiated the charity and collected all the clothing and toy items in the UK from friends and family, and had it sent over to South Africa. This wonderful gesture from Mrs.Goosen has touched the hearts of many, and helped the needy children for much wanted items for the coming winter.

Proudly everyone stood for their pictures to be taken, and showed sincere thanks for the much needed clothing. The school teacher and students have written a personal letter to the Goosens` thanking them for their love and support. Soon the school will receive a new coat of paint with funds earmarked for the renovation of the building.

“It humbles me to see what kind hearts the Goosen family have, in helping these needy children on the farm.”says, Morne Jonker,co-owner and Managing Director of The Goose Wine Estate.
