Other clubs involved were the Cyclopaths and the Tygerberg Tigers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\">\n<h3>Blanket drive an immense success<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Revival Worship Centre reached out to the 82 families who live and work on Bellevue Wine Estate on Bottelary Road after a chance meeting between congregation member Peter August and the farm\u2019s lorry driver John Tieties outside a local warehouse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cWe started talking in general about the needs of local farmworkers,\u201d  said August, \u201cand later during a subsequent visit to the farm it became clear that factors such as alcohol abuse, domestic violence, poverty and illiteracy were crippling this community, something that prompted the church to get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Receiving the cyclist Duncan Daniels from the church thanked them for their efforts in extending a warm hand to the less privileged.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThe blanket drive was an immense success,\u201d he said. \u201cIt means so much to us and such a blessing to the community that people have put their hands in their pockets to reach out to the poor.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>As part of the outreach the church also provides fresh bread and cooked meals to the community every Friday and hosted a career day for the farm children.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThese children grow up believing that their only prospect in life is to work on the farms as their parents do,\u201d  said August.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cWith this career day we had lawyers, doctors and other professionals coming to talk to the children to impress on them the message that there is something more out there, beyond their gloomy circumstances.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farmworkers on a Bottelary wine farm will
