Of hulle nou 90 of 99 jaar oud is \u2013 die bejaarde inwoners van Langverwag-tehuis in Stellenbosch se harte klop warm en hul hande bly besig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van hulle is tannie Nel Treurnicht, wat vandag (Donderdag 7 Maart) haar 99ste verjaardag vier. Sy is sedert 2017 \u2019n inwoner van Langverwag en gebruik nou haar goue jare om \u2019n bietjie blydskap vir kleintjies te bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tannie Nel se voorliefde vir brei en deelname aan breiprojekte het uitgebrei en sy kan met reg die moeder van troosbeertjies genoem word \u2013 Ta-Nel se Troosbeertjies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het begin met die Tygerbeer-projek vir die Tygerberg-kinderhospitaal, maar deesdae word die beertjies die helfte kleiner sodat die mediese studente dit in hul oorjasse se sakke kan hou en uitdeel om siek kinders te troos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tannie Nel se beertjies gaan ook na traumasentrums om getraumatiseerde kinders te troos. Elke beertjie word met \u2019n gebed in die hart gebrei sodat die kind wat dit kry, troos sal vind. Die beertjies is ook stylvol, want hoewel hulle meestal \u201cbeer\u201d-kleur is, dra elkeen \u2019n bont serpie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verskeie mense word betrek by die maak van die gebreide beertjies \u2013 van die bere en hul serpies tot die vaswerk van hul nate om gestop te word en die uiteindelike maak van gesiggies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tannie Nel het ook al van die personeel by Langverwag ge\u00efnspireer om betrokke te raak. Sy en haar helpers het al ongeveer 90 beertjies gebrei sedert sy die projek verlede jaar begin het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 90-jarige Joey du Preez (90) woon sedert 2018 by Langverwag. Brei is ook \u2019n passie vir haar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Uitenhage, van waar sy oorspronklik is, was sy vir baie jare deel van die kerk se projek om musse vir seemanne te brei. By Langverwag het sy die tradisie voortgesit en brei nou wolmussies vir kinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die somer word \u2019n goeie voorraad opgebou wat dan in die winter versprei word na ander projekte in die Wes-Kaap waar behoeftige kinders versorg word. Saam met haar help \u2019n span by Langverwag met die wegwerk van drade en vaswerk van die mussies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy brei al langer as twee jaar gemiddeld 50 mussies per maand, wat \u2019n groot verskil in so baie kinders se lewe maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of hulle nou 90 of 99 jaar oud is \u2013 die bejaarde inwoners van Langverwag-tehuis in Stellenbosch se harte klop warm en hul hande bly besig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":46414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"","_yoast_wpseo_inclusive_language_score":"","_yoast_wpseo_is_cornerstone":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image-id":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-title":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image-id":"","newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_crsspst_to_novanewscoza":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozabloemnewsexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozacityvision":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozadistrictmailhelderberg":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozahermanustimes":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozakomani-karoo":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozakougaexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozamthathaexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozanoordkaapbulletin":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozapaarlpost":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozapeexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozapeoplespost":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaswartlandgazette":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozatygerburger":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaudexpress":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozavistanews":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozavrystaatkroon":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaweskusnuus":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaweslander":false,"_crsspst_to_novanewscozaworcesterstandard":false,"_EventAllDay":"","_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":"","_EventShowMapLink":"","_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":"","_EventVenueID":"","_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":"","_VenueShowMapLink":"","_application":"","_batch_id":"","_company_name":"","_company_tagline":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_company_website":"","_custom_id":"71ce1582-3ada-4a9a-b81d-1f0fc506f5ae","_EventDuration":"","_EventOrigin":"","_EventTimezoneAbbr":"","_featured":"","_filled":"","_job_expires":"","_job_location":"","_media_credit":"","_media_credit_url":"","_menu_item_menu_item_parent":"","_menu_item_object":"","_menu_item_object_id":"","_menu_item_target":"","_menu_item_type":"","_menu_item_url":"","_menu_item_xfn":"","_navis_media_can_distribute":"","_navis_media_credit_org":"","_OrganizerOrigin":"","_provider":"","_pum_built_in":"","_pum_default_theme":"","_pum_form_conversion_count":"","_remote_id":"","_remote_name":"","_remote_position":"","_report_frequency":"","_report_reference_dates":"","_send_attempts":"","_site_id":"","_sitemap_exclude":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","_sitemap_priority":"","_source_url":"","_subscription_period":"","_subscription_period_interval":"","_subscription_price":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":"","_template_type":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_ticket_start_date":"","_tribe_aggregator_allow_multiple_organizers":"","_tribe_aggregator_content_type":"","_tribe_aggregator_file":"","_tribe_aggregator_finalized":"","_tribe_aggregator_hash":"","_tribe_aggregator_import_id":"","_tribe_aggregator_import_name":"","_tribe_aggregator_interactive":"","_tribe_aggregator_origin":"","_tribe_aggregator_post_status":"","_tribe_aggregator_preview":"","_tribe_aggregator_source_name":"","_tribe_aggregator_type":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_hide_attendees_list":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":"","_tribe_ticket_version":"","_type":"","_VenueOrigin":"","_wp_attachment_context":"","_wp_attachment_image_alt":"","_wp_font_face_file":"","_wp_old_date":"","_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw_text_input":"","_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_block-catalog":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_job_listing_type":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_nova_retailer":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_publication":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_tribe_events_cat":"","_yoast_wpseo_videositemap-duration":"","_yoast_wpseo_videositemap-rating":"","_menu_item_classes":[],"_tribe_modified_fields":[],"_wp_attachment_backup_sizes":[],"_wp_suggested_priva
