Knysna Township Tours

 guide & town folk

Hello Emil,
 
My husband, our 1 one year old sond and I were in Knysna last october and we did the Witlokasia tour with you on a rainy day. Despite the weather, you gave us a wonderfull tour we won't forget soon. We were really impressed by the work which is done Knysna for the townships. For us the highlight of the tour was the visit to, what you called your "baby", the creche or child day  care. Unbelieveble how the women of the creche are able to manage such a lot of children at once. Really impressive.
We took a lot of pictures of the children in the creche and we quit a lot of copies here to send it to them. As we don't have a adress of the creche,  my idea is to send the pictures to you, so you can give it to them.
We also bought some drawing and handicraft/hobby things for the children at the creche, as they didn't have much materials to work with, what we saw during the tour.
Is it oke if we send the pictures and the other package with drawing materials to you and will you please be so kind to handle it over to the women at the creche? We will really appreciate this.
 
Looking forward to hear from you.
 
Kind regards,

Hello,
 
Someone from your office was kind enough to help me with some fact finding a while ago. My article on Knysna's Township Trail finally appeared in the Toronto Star travel section, Toronto's largest newspaper. I thought you would be interested in reading it. I would love to know your thoughts when you've had a chance to read it.
 
Regards,
