Willow Park is still finding its feet financially and we are still in need for donations to help continue the work that is being done on the property. One of the things that often goes unlooked (and I do it also) is for work uniforms for our workers. At this stage our 5 workers are farming and doing all their labour in tattered clothing which is a cause for concern. As an example, without long overalls there is greater chance of getting ticks during the day and without proper working boots it increases the chance of the workers being bitten by a snake.
So how much is this chip in? All it takes is sponsoring one worker for $50 and they will get a new pair of workers overalls and a pair of boots. This gesture of giving will go a long way with the work place health and safety at Willow Park as well as boosting the moral of our hard workers.
Here is a little bit about each of our workers … all you have do to chip in to help with their uniforms is just click on the staff pictures below and follow the links … it is that easy.

If we can get our 5 dairy cows, Themba will be heading this venture on the ground at Willow Park.Themba is still single but has the interest of a few young lasses. He has two younger sisters and believe it or not his favourite colour is pink. |
