SY moes al van laerskool met haar gesig feitlik teenaan haar boek sit om te kan sien . . . en moet heel voor in die klaskamer sit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Graad 11 JBay Comprehensive High School-leerder, Ruasha Groenewald (18) van Pellsrus in Jeffreysbaai, benodig dringend \u2019n kornea-oorplanting om haar sig te red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel onderwysers hard aan die woeker is om haar te help, skort fondse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 skool se ATKV-jeugtak het onlangs R1 000 tydens \u2019n talentkompetisie ingesamel \u2013 slegs \u2019n druppel in die emmer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die totale koste van die broodnodige operasie beloop meer as R100 000. Die operasie kan in Port Elizabeth gedoen word, terwyl die korneas van Amerika kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ruasha se pa, Riaan Groenewald, vertel: \u201cOns het eers besef iets skort met haar o\u00eb toe \u2019n oogarts die plaaslike laerskool waar sy was, besoek het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRuasha het \u2019n bril gekry, maar haar sig het mettertyd versleg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar ouers het haar na \u2019n algemene praktisyn op die dorp geneem \u2013 \u2019n tweede bril het gevolg. Di\u00e9 het egter ook net vir \u2019n kort tydperk gehelp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit was eers toe Ruasha na \u2019n oogspesialis geneem is, dat haar siekte gediagnoseer is: kromming van die kornea. Dit is \u2019n toestand waar die kornea uitbult en sig belemmer. Die toestand vererger mettertyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die nuus dat sy dogter kornea-oorplantings in albei o\u00eb moet kry om haar sig te red, was ontstellend en angswekkend, s\u00ea Riaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMaar nou weet ons daar is hoop. Iets kan gedoen word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Omdat daar \u2019n lang waglys vir kornea-oorplantings by staatshospitale is, mik hulle om nagenoeg R100 000 in te samel om die operasie by \u2019n privaat-spesialis te laat doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndien die operasie nie gedoen word nie, kan Ruasha binne die volgende tien jaar blind wees,\u201d s\u00ea Riaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNa die operasie sal Ruasha, \u2019n leergierige kind wat voorheen in netbal uitgeblink het, haar volle potensiaal kan bereik,\u201d s\u00ea Riaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gesin hoop om intussen spesiale kontaklense vir Ruasha te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie kontaklense druk die kornea plat en help om haar sig te verbeter. Dit is egter net \u2019n tydelike oplossing,\u201d s\u00ea Riaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool, \u2019n nie-winsgewende organisasie, doen \u2019n beroep op die gemeenskap om die familie finansieel te help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool beoog om verskeie fondsinsame-lingsgeleenthede te hou om fondse vir Ruasha in te samel, onder meer \u2019n Jazz-aand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
