Die oorgang na bejaarde en die finale seisoen van \u2019n mens se lewe in aftrede kan \u2019n hewige antiklimaks op so \u2019n geliefde se gemoed h\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eensaamheid, verveeldheid en \u2019n gevoel van geen waarde vir die samelewing is net \u2019n paar van die ervarings wat bejaardes in di\u00e9 seisoen kan beleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelukkig bestaan talle plaaslike klubs en programme wat mik om sulke ervarings te verlig en te vergemaklik, nes die Wellington-bejaardesorg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wellington-bejaardesorg bestaan tans uit 45 lede, van wie die meeste vroue is, en hul manlike geselskap di\u00e9 van 10 lede behels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ouderdomsgroep van lewenslustige lede is tussen 61 en 95 jaar oud. \u201cOns jongste lid is Pedro Satira (61) en die oudste wat \u2019n skatryke 95 jaar jonk is,\u201d vertel Fulenda Paulse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die klompie vergesel mekaar weekliks op Donderdae waar verskeie aktiwiteite hul lewe lekker wakker woeker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns beplan ons Donderdae so dat ons lede fisiek aktief bly om aan oefeninge deel te neem, maar ook geestelike projekte uit te werk wat hul hande kan besig hou. Die belangrikste bly natuurlik sodat hulle elkeen lekker kan saamkuier en gesels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Donderdag-klubsamekoms begin om 09:30, waarvan die program die volgende behels: Oefeninge, projekte, gassprekers, speletjies en gesellige samesyn. Die program sluit om 12:00 af, waarna die lede terug huis toe geneem word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie bestuur neem die lede eenmaal per kwartaal uit vir \u2019n lekker bederf wanneer al die lede saam na \u2019n bestemming kan gaan om die dag in die buitelug saam met mekaar te geniet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wellington-bejaardesorg se komitee bestaan uit die volgende lede wat die weeklikse Donderdag-programme as volg bestuur: Jean Bantjes fasiliteer die godsdiens, media en foto\u2019s; Connie Abrahams en Peter Hartogh re\u00ebl die kuns en handwerk; Jerome Julies is verantwoordelik vir fiksheid en Fulenda behartig die kantoor se bestuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is tans hard aan die oefen vir die jaarlikse Golden Games-sportdag wat op 12 Mei by die Dal Josafat-stadion sal plaasvind. Hierdie dag werk soos die Olimpiese Spele vir die ouer geslag waar hulle aan boeresport sal deelneem, maar ook teen ander klubs sal meeding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Covid-19-pandemie het die klub se tydverdrywe uiteraard omvergewerp. \u201cOngelukkig het covid ons gedwing om tydelik ons deure te sluit, en het ons toe elke week vir ons lede kos aangery na hul huise om seker te maak hulle voel nie alleen nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGedurende dit als kon ons lede nie kerk toe gaan nie, en ons het toegesien dat hulle steeds die Woord van God kon hoor. So het Jean vir ons Godsdiens-video\u2019s een maal per week opgeneem en dit aan die lede versprei sodat hul steeds die liefde van God kon hoor en beleef.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jean-Claude le Cordier het aan Paarl Post<\/span> vertel van die oorsprong van die klub, en s\u00ea die naam Lena Kroneburg is sinoniem met dienslewering aan die bejaardes van Wellington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSy sien die nood van ouerwordende mense in ons gemeenskap en het \u2019n passie ontwikkel vir die omsien na die bejaardes. Sy was die groot dryfkrag agter die inisiatief en het in \u2019n japtrap \u2019n klub vir bejaardes, bekend as Gemoedsrus, gestig.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy verduidelik dat \u2019n behoefte later ge\u00efdentifiseer is vir \u2019n eie byeenkoms waar programme aangebied en saamtrekke gehou kon word waardeur bejaardes versorging kon kry, soos haarversorging, en ook \u2019n lekker ete op klubdae kon geniet, wat toe tot Wellington-bejaardesorg gelei het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns grootste uitdagings behels die vervoer van lede. Lede word weekliks by hul huise opgelaai en weer afgelaai, maar as gevolg van die koste verkies ons dat nuwe lede wat wil aansluit vir eers hul eie vervoer moet re\u00ebl. Dit behels ook instandhouding van geboue, voorsiening van maaltye en geld om \u2019n senior-volwassene-program van ho\u00eb gehalte aan te bied.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le Cordier s\u00ea deur middel van \u2019n krimpende subsidie van die departement van welsynontwikkeling, word jaarlikse finansi\u00eble bydraes van skenkings uit Wyk 18, kwartaallikse saamtrekke en ander bydraes van vriende van die bejaardes gepoog om alles te dek sonder om te veel van die betrokke bejaardes te vra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns is tans besig met \u2019n veldtog om 200 mense \u2018vas te maak\u2019 om kwartaalliks R50 te gee om ons beplande daguitstappies te dek. Ons bejaardes is baie jonk van gees en geniet die daguitstappies verskriklik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy s\u00ea die betrokkenheid van oud en jonk by hul vereniging is van groot waarde. \u201cIn di\u00e9 verband speel \u2019n paar skole soos St. Albans Prim\u00ear en ons nuutste inskakeling, Wellington Vaardigheidskool, \u2019n beduidende rol.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nuwe lede word hartlik verwelkom om by Wellington-bejaardesorg aan te sluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Belangstellendes kan Fulenda by 067 145 8394 bel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maak gerus kontak om meer inligting rakende die klub se 2022-kalender uit te vind, en
