Plek is nog beskikbaar vir stappers wat van 5 tot 13 Maart die Stargazing-camino, \u2019n 108 km-staproete tussen Sutherland en Merweville, wil aandurf om geld in te samel vir gemeenskappe wat weens die droogte ly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Est\u00e9 van der Merwe, bemarkingsbestuurder van Caritas-gemeenskapsfokus in Kimberley, gaan deelneem. Sy s\u00ea hulle gaan di\u00e9 keer die veldtog van die sinode van Wes-Kaapland se barmhartigheids\u00addiensgroep, Diaconia, en die ring van Beaufort-Wes ondersteun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die mikpunt is om \u2019n minimum van R600 000 in te samel. Die geld sal met oorleg in die betrokke gemeenskappe verdeel word, in samewerking met plaaslike gemeentes van die Verenigende Gereformeerde Kerk (VGK). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die staptog kom nadat Caritas-gemeenskapsfokus die afgelope jare twee staptogte, in die Tankwa-Karoo en die Boesmanland in die Noord-Kaap, gere\u00ebl het om \u2019n bewustheid van die droogte-nood te skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy man, Johan, en twee van ons ondersteuners, Ezbe Jansen van Rensburg en Andr\u00e9 Rose, stap saam. Daar is net plek vir 20 stappers. Ons sal gemiddeld 18 km per dag oor die ses dae stap en in plaashuise oornag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn 2021 het 12 stappers van Caritas-gemeenskapsfokus saam met Amore Bekker die Boesmanland-camino aangedurf, ten bate van die Red \u2019n Plaas-projek.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is gedoen in samewerking met die NG Kerk in Noord-Kaapland, Diaconia, Agri Noord-Kaap, Kerk Sonder Mure, asook die Studente-droogtehulpfonds, vir bewusmaking oor die humanit\u00eare en geestelike nood in die Noord-Kaap en omliggende gebiede. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is nog groot dele van die Karoo wat deur die droogte verlam is. Daarom het Diaconia en die ring van Beaufort-Wes besluit om vanjaar \u2019n ses-dag-staptog te re\u00ebl ter ondersteuning van Karoo-gemeenskappe wat deur die langdurige droogte geraak is. Caritas-gemeenskaps\u00adfokus is opgewonde daaroor om die projek van Diaconia te ondersteun en saam te stap.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens ds. Nioma Venter van Diaconia skep die staptog bewusmaking van die uitdagings wat die streek ondervind en is die doel om aktiewe ondersteuning van plaaslike gemeenskappe te verkry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTerselfdertyd skep dit ook \u2019n geleentheid vir danksegging en getuienis,\u201d s\u00ea Venter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twee ondersteuningsvoertuie sal stappers vergesel en bagasie vervoer. Stappers hoef slegs hul daaglikse watervoorraad en versnaperinge te dra en moet hul tente saambring. Aandete en drie koffie-blaaskanse (met beskuit soggens) word daagliks verskaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saans sal die omgewing se unieke landskap en hemelruim onder leiding van gesoute kenners verken word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit kos R5 900 per stapper. Buitelug-geesdriftiges en ywerige sterrekykers word aangemoedig om hulle in te skryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
