Die Overstrand-vereniging vir Mense met Gestremdhede beskerm en bevorder die belange van mense met gestremdhede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By hul perseel in Hawston lei hulle ook mense met gestremdhede in verskeie handwerkvaardighede op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die perlemoenskulpprojek, met die fokus op inkomstegenerering, is een van hul interessante vaardigheidsontwikkelings\u00adprojekte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desiree Gelderblom, \u2019n maatskaplike werker by die vereniging, s\u00ea: \u201cDie Abagold-ontwikkelingstrust se korporatiewe sosiale-verantwoordelikheid-afdeling het ses jaar gelede met ons hande gevat. Hulle wou weet wat gedoen kan word met die perlemoenskulpe van hul perlemoenplaas wat daar ophoop. Hulle het vir ons kunstenaars gestuur sodat ons vorendag kon kom met idees oor produkte wat ons met die skulpe kan maak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Een van die idees was om Kersbome met die skulpe te maak. Die skulpe word deur Abagold geskenk en deur lede van die vereniging skoongemaak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelderblom s\u00ea sowat 30 mense word deur die jaar opgelei om di\u00e9 vaardigheid te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altesaam 12 mense werk deesdae semi-permanent aan di\u00e9 projek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die unieke Kersbome word van Oktober tot Desember verkoop, maar \u2019n behoefte om kleiner produkte vir die toeristemark te ontwikkel, het ontstaan. Van die produkte word by Abagold se winkel by die nuwe hawe in Hermanus verkoop. Juweliersware is \u2019n nuwe konsep waaraan tans gewerk word. Abagold het Vivienne Mitchley van Creative Space aangewys om hulp en opleiding vir hierdie nuwe konsep te verskaf. \u201cN\u00e1 opleiding kan ons presies dupliseer wat ons geleer het,\u201d s\u00ea Gelderblom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelderblom s\u00ea hulle maak ook huisnommers, planthouers, spie\u00ebls, fotorame en hangkandelare wat met perlemoenskulpe versier is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle maak op bestelling ook pragtige muurhorlosies van ou satellietskottels. Mense kan hul ou satellietskottels bring om dit in \u2019n horlosie te laat omskep. Die skottel kan ook met perlemoen-mosa\u00efekstukkies uitgevoer word om \u2019n muurornament te maak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns werk eintlik met die hele familie van die gestremde om hulp en opleiding te verskaf. Soms kan \u2019n gestremde nie kom werk nie, maar dan kan een van die familielede wat opgelei is in hul plek kom werk. Ons wil graag ook meer mense met gestremdhede en van hul direkte familielede as crafters<\/i> oplei,\u201d s\u00ea Gelderblom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelderblom s\u00ea die departement van sport, kuns en kultuur stel geld aan die vereniging beskik\u00adbaar vir opleiding en bemarking..<\/span> Vir meer inligting oor produkte, of om \u2019n
