Huis Andrew Murray (HAM) is sedert 1898 \u2019n heenkome vir meestal wetsbestede kinders en is tot vandag \u2019n veilige hawe wat \u2019n holistiese benadering toepas. Hulle het die storm van die pandemie oorleef, en is steeds op soek na gepaste pleegsorgouers om hul kinders \u2019n gevoel van aanvaarding te bied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karen Petersen, HAM se bestuurder vir bemarking en geldinsameling, vertel hoe kinders ingevolge Art 150 van die Kinderwet 38 van 2005 in hul sorg geplaas word. Hulle versorg tans 148 kinders by hul perseel gele\u00eb op die hoek van Willem Basson- en Blouvleistraat in Wellington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 kinders woon daagliks skool by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n vroe\u00ebkinderontwikkeling-program op die perseel waar sewe kleuters inskakel, met 11 voorskoolse (gr. RR- en gr R) leerders; 80 laerskool-kinders en 38 ho\u00ebrskoolkinders. Ons het tans een student in Boland-kollege en 13 kinders wat voorlopig in pleegsorg uitgeplaas of in hul ouers se sorg herstel is. Dit behels 75 meisies en 73 seuns. Ons is geregistreer om 155 kinders te akkommodeer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer kinders by HAM opgeneem word, vind \u2019n holistiese assessering plaas waar die kind se sterk punte en ontwikkelingsgebiede uitgewys word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOntwikkelingsgebiede word in individuele terapie en ontwikkelingsgroepe aangedurf. Volgens die sterkpunt-benadering word kinders se \u2018behoort aan\u2019, bemeestering, mededeelsaamheid en onafhanklikheid gemeet en in \u2019n Individuele Ontwikkelingsplan (IOP) vervat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy voer aan dat so \u2019n IOP dan deel van sy\/haar unieke plan vorm vir die tyd wat hulle by HAM deurbring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns assessering bepaal ook na watter soort skool\/onderriginstansie die kind moet gaan waar hy\/sy die geleentheid sal kry om optimaal te ontwikkel. Ons gee hulle ook die geleentheid om n\u00e1 skool te gaan studeer of bied hulp om \u2019n werk of internskap te verkry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kinders het twee studietye per dag en word die geleentheid gegee om aan sport- en kultuuraktiwiteite by die KJSS en ook by hul onderskeie skole deel te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Pleegsorg by HAM<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petersen verduidelik dat HAM nie juis \u201cpleegsorg\u201d as sodanig aanbied nie, \u201cmaar ons het \u2019n naweek- en \u2019n vakansie-ouers-program\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Indien iemand belangstel om \u2019n naweek- of vakansie-ouer te word, kan hulle die kantoor kontak, waar \u2019n paar vorms wat voltooi moet word, uitgereik sal word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns verwag van aansoekers om \u2019n polisie-klaring te kry en ook \u2019n vorm 30 te voltooi ten einde te verseker dat die mense se name nie in die kinderbeskermingsregister verskyn nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c \u2019n Maatskaplike ondersoek moet ook deur \u2019n betrokke gesinsorgorganisasie in die omgewing waar die aansoekers woon, gedoen word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HAM is \u2019n program van Badisa en gebou op Christelike waardes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns verwag dus van ons naweek- en vakansie-ouers om ons waardes te deel en versoek dat \u2019n predikant\/geestelike leier ook \u2019n vorm vir die betrokke gesin voltooi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n taamlik lang proses en voornemende naweek-\/vakansie-ouers word aangeraai om die proses so spoedig moontlik te begin indien hulle belangstel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoe word kinders en die ideale aansoeker gepas?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns kyk na die profiel van die gesin en bepaal of daar \u2019n kind is wat moontlik by die gesin se profiel inpas. Daar is nie perfekte profiele nie \u2013 ons soek mense wat \u2019n verskil in \u2019n kind se lewe wil maak en bereid is om \u2019n ekstra myl of twee saam met so \u2019n kind te stap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petersen s\u00ea aansoekers kan bepaal of hulle \u2019n spesifieke kind wil uitneem en of hulle \u2019n spesifieke ouderdom\/geslag kind wil neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is soms gevalle dat die program nie uitloop soos wat mense dalk verwag nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWanneer naweek- en vakansie-ouers aan \u2019n kind toegewys is, koester kinders gewoonlik \u2019n verwagting dat hulle gereeld by die betrokke gesin gaan \u2018kuier\u2019. Hulle eien die gesin toe aan hulself en praat van \u2018my mense\u2019. Wanneer so \u2019n plasing egter misluk en kinders teruggebring word of die gesin stel nie meer belang om die kinders te neem nie, ervaar die kinders weer verwerping, en dit is traumaties vir hulle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tog is daar altyd \u2019n silwerrandjie in sommige gevalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns kinders word uit bekende omgewings met baie slegte omstandighede verwyder en by ons geplaas. Wanneer ons moontlike vakansie-ouers identifiseer (en as dit kan ontwikkel tot pleegsorg, is dit \u2019n groot bonus), bied dit stabiliteit in die kinders se lewe en gee dit hulle die geleentheid om \u2019n gesonde band met gesonde rolmodelle te vorm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Hoe het die HAM die impak van die Covid-19-inperkings ervaar?<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jaco Holtzhausen, die bestuurder van HAM, verduidelik dat die effek tweeledig was: \u201cDie verlengde ure wat kinder- en jeugsorgwerkers moes werk as gevolg van kinders wat nie kon skoolgaan nie, het ekstra vergoeding aan personeel vereis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTweedens was die moraal van die personeel weens 55 ure per week se aaneenlopend werk \u2019n hewige uitdaging vir hulle.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy s\u00ea die direkte koste van Covid-19 beloop R1 003 845.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMense wat belangstel om \u2019n naweek- of vakansie-ouer vir een of meer van ons kinders te word, kan e-pos stuur aan vakkundige@andrewmurray.org.za of mw1@andrewmurray.org.za.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Huis Andrew Murray (HAM) is sedert 1898 \u2019n heenkome vir meestal wetsbestede kinders en is tot vandag \u2019n veilige hawe wat \u2019n holistiese benadering toepas.
