Food to feed children
Petrol account (to be paid in order to transport our children)

Contribution to the payment of salaries (due since end of April; and for the month of May).
 
We also want to express our deepest thanks to people already helping us (Bettie Mitchells-Innes, Werner Redelinghuys, Jimmy and Anne Binos)

Congratulations to our new DA Ward 5 Councillor
Davin Hull
Looking forward to a new era in McGregor!Housing in McGregor

1.   Having spoken to the DA Leadership and our new Councillor we have been told that no housing proposals for McGregor were  ever sent for ratification to Province by the ANC.

2.   The DA firmly believe that housing should be on one of the adjoining farms - more than likely, Swanepoel's. Our new Councillor has undertaken to keep us advised of developments in this regard.

Temenos has a beautiful new website..
go to www.temenos.org.za 
we welcome your discovery of this remarkable place, 
known and loved by guests from around the world
as an inspirational setting for healing,
 wellness and personal transformation..........
