The staff of MAMELANI PROJECTS, a CT based NGO working with women, children and youth, spent some days at the farm for a year-end retreat. We were told that the word MAMELANI means "Listen up" since members of the organisation have to listen to the needs of the people they work with. We were very aware of the often complex and difficult nature of the their work, and were very happy to have them here. They in turn seemed to leave with a spring back in their step. They commented:
We are so grateful for the 3 days we had at Fynbos Estate . The peaceful space was perfect for us to reflect on our busy year. We were able to work in the cosy lounge, in the shade of the trees and go for long walks in the mountains. The space has helped us to reconnect with ourselves and with each other and this would not have been without the care and warmth of Diana and Johan. Thank you both for making us feel so at home.
