Hawston Sekond\u00ear se toppresteerder, Kay-Ree Julies, se studies het \u2019n hupstoot gekry toe sy \u2019n beurs van die Akeelah-stigting ontvang het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Natasha Ross, \u2019n bekroonde wetenskaplike en stigter van die Akeelah-stigting, het Hawston onlangs besoek om die beurs aan die belowende jong student te oorhandig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ross, wat in Hawston grootgeword het en tans \u2019n senior chemie-lektor by die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland (UWK) is, s\u00ea die stigting se missie en visie is \u201cdie opvoedkundige vooruitgang van meisies in minderbevoorregte gemeenskappe\u201d wat uitblink in wiskunde en die wetenskappe. Sy voeg by: \u201cOns het \u2019n nood buite die riglyne van ons visie identifiseer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die stigting glo ook dat opvoeding nie net \u2019n vrou bemagtig om haar eie lewe te verbeter nie, maar ook die lewe van mense rondom haar, wat haar familie, vriende en die gemeenskap waarin sy woon, insluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Ross het die organisasie daarom besluit om die beurs aan Kay-Ree toe te ken omdat sy uitgestaan het as \u2019n leerder wat voortdurend hard werk om bo haar moeilike omstandighede uit te styg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is so trots op haar en opgewonde oor haar toekoms. Die Akeelah-stigting gaan as mentors \u2019n pad met haar stap om seker te maak sy behaal groot sukses,\u201d het sy bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kay-Ree, wat tans aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch studeer en daarvan droom om \u2019n maatskaplike werker te word, s\u00ea sy is \u201cbaie dankbaar\u201d vir die ekstra finansiering wat sy sal gebruik om die nodige handleidings en ander benodigdhede vir haar studies te koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit maak die las op my ma \u2019n bietjie ligter, want ek het nog twee jonger broers,\u201d s\u00ea Kay-Ree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die mentorskap, wat saam met die beurs aangebied word, s\u00ea Kay-Ree, is ook baie belangrik. \u201cDit stel my gerus en laat my lekker voel om te weet ek het iemand wat my kan help en my sal mentor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Ross is die Akeelah-stigting op \u2019n missie om jong vroue deur mentorskap, finansiering en ontwikkelingsprogramme te help om hul opvoedkundige en loopbaandoelwitte te bereik. \u201cOns hoop om elke haar \u2019n jong vrou in die gemeenskap te kan help en verwelkom enige finansi\u00eble bystand\/skenkings om sodoende meer meisies te kan ondersteun,\u201d s\u00ea Ross..<\/span> Enigeen wat
