Daar heers groot opgewondenheid en entoesiasme in die mooie Gamtoosvallei, ondanks die uitdagings van die droogte. Die dorp is besig om \u2019n gedaanteverwisseling te ondergaan met die hulp van die ywerige inwoners en sakeondernemings. <\/p>\n
Patensie Pronk is \u2019n projek wat gevorm is om die gemeenskap bymekaar te bring. \u201cAs almal hande vat kan ons iets moois en positief saam skep. Ons wil baie graag ons mooie vallei skoon, netjies en veilig maak vir sy inwoners en besoekers. Ons dorpie is baie spesiaal en ons wil graag h\u00ea die gevoel moet weerspie\u00ebl word in die voorkoms van die dorp, bekend vir sy sitrus, groente, gasvryheid en natuurskoon,\u201d s\u00ea Nadia du Preez, voorvatter by die Patensie Pronkers.<\/p>\n
Betrokkenheid<\/strong><\/p>\n Hulle het goeie samewerking van verskeie sektore in die vallei: die vrouens van Patensie, sakeondernemings, boerderye, skole, Gamtoos Toerisme, God se Hande (herwinningsprojek in Ramaphosa) en die Kouga Munisipaliteit. Hulle kry ook baie ondersteuning van Jeffreysbaai se Dorp van Drome wat al ondervinding het met di\u00e9 soort van projekte \u2013 wat eindelik ook gelei het tot die titel van \u201cDorp van die Jaar\u201d.<\/p>\n Samewerking<\/strong><\/p>\n Daar is reeds begin aan \u2019n paar projekte soos die versiering voor die poskantoor, en die ingang na die Ramaphosa-woonbuurt. \u201cDie projek is nog baie nuut en daar is nog baie plek vir verbetering, maar almal is bereid om te help en te ondersteun! PSB \u2013 Patensie Citrus stel weekliks twee manne beskikbaar om ons te help met opruiming. Mense skenk ruimhartig vir ons plante en grond. Die Munisipaliteit se steun is van onskatbare waarde deurdat hulle so gou as moontlik vullis verwyder,\u201d s\u00ea Du Preez.<\/p>\n Projekte<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n Daar word eers begin met die tuine van die dorp. \u201cOns maak tans die tuine skoon en beoog dan om inheemse waterbespa-rende plante te plant. Verskeie vrouens van die vallei is dan verantwoordelik vir verskeie tuine. Tannie Hilda Ferreira het vir jare lank ons tuine vir ons mooi gemaak en dit is tyd dat ons die tuine ter ere van haar mooi maak, sodat sy dit uit die hemel kan geniet. Haar kleindogter, Alise Engelbrecht, is juis ook deel van die Patensie Pronkers,\u201d s\u00ea Du Preez.<\/p>\n Behalwe die verfraaiing van die tuine, poog die Pronkers ook om die dorp te beveilig en verbeter vir die inwoners. Volgende projekte sluit in: die plasing van vullisdromme in die dorp, straatslote vir stormwater, openbare toilette, verbetering van die gesinspark, om die elektrisiteitsdrade reg te maak, padname en straatborde regmaak en vernuwe, bankies aan te bring, die treinstasie reg te maak en tot sy reg laat kom, strate te verbeter en die dorp as geheel op te kikker met die hulp van die munisipaliteit.<\/p>\n \u201cOns wil ook graag die dorpie opwindend maak met kuns en kultuur deur mure en afgeleefde strukture te verfraai met kleur en patroon. Ons sal gebruik maak van die herwinningsmateriaal deur \u201cGod se Hande projek\u201d te ondersteun en op so manier ook teruggee aan ons gemeenskap. Ons voel baie passievol daaroor om ons eie local<\/span> besighede te ondersteun en te gebruik vir die vernuwing,\u201d s\u00ea Du Preez.<\/p>\n Die projek word befonds deur donasies en ondersteuning van die gemeenskap. Du Preez s\u00ea: \u201cOns het almal se hande, entoe- siasme en gebede nodig om hiervan \u2019n sukses te maak. Elkeen se bereidheid en betrokkenheid is waardevol.
