\u201cDaar is \u2019n tyd om jou beroep te begin en \u2019n tyd breek ook aan om dit af te sluit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
S\u00f3 groet Alicia Rhode, maatskaplike werker van Kindersorg Paarl Suid-Afrika, in Mackierstraat, Paarl-Oos, wat nou haar beroep n\u00e1 25 jaar vaarwel roep. Twintig jaar hiervan het sy aan di\u00e9 organisasie sonder winsbejag gewy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhode is gebore as \u2019n nooi Laubscher op Newton, Wellington, en het haar skoolloopbaan aan Dal Josaphat Prim\u00ear en vanaf graad 4 tot graad 8 by Ebenezer Prim\u00ear skoolgegaan. Daarna het sy aan Klein Nederburg Sekond\u00ear matrikuleer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het haar diploma in maatskaplike werk aan die Minnie Hofmeyer-kollege in 1990 in Worcester verwerf waarna sy haar in 1991 as maatskaplike werker bekwaam en byna vier jaar by Steinthal-kinderhuis gewerk het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierna het sy by die Paarl-nagskuiling in Ambagsvalleistraat vir \u2019n jaar lank op kontrakbasis gewerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir haar om met die gemeenskap, veral met Paarl-Oos (Klein Nederburg area, Klien Drakensteinweg tot Meistraat, Chester Williams Plakkerskamp, Langvlei, Mountain View asook 28 plase) te kon werk, het vir Rhode die sagte kant van die lewe kom wys deur middel van \u2019n beroep waaraan sy te alle tye 100% toegewyd was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is ook hierdie toewyding wat my gedring het om mense se persepsie rondom die beroep te verander deur voordurend \u2019n voorbeeld te probeer stel,\u201d vertel Rhode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhode is die afgelope 25 jaar met die polisieman Marchell (Jonty) Rhode getroud. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die egpaar, wat steeds in Wellington woon, het twee kinders \u2013 \u2019n dogter, Shinique (23) en \u2019n seun, Roch\u00e9 (7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het my passie vir mense al van \u2019n baie jong ouderdom af,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rhode s\u00ea sy wou nog altyd \u2019n beroep beklee wat haar die geleentheid kon bied om mense te help en om \u2019n verskil in hul lewe te kan maak sodat hulle tot hul volle potensiaal kan ontwikkel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir haar was die grootste uitdaging om families te oortuig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit help so baie as jy weet dat die publiek bereid is om jou o\u00eb en ore te wees om die gemeenskap \u2019n beter, veiliger en gesonder een te maak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Min verstaan presies wat \u2019n maatskaplike werker doen. Wanneer iemand \u2019n behoefte het om sy omstandighede te verander of dit nodig is om hulp aan so iemand te verleen om dit te kan doen, tree \u2019n maatskaplike werker as fasiliteerder in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Rhode is daar \u2019n groot toename in die aanmelding van misdade soos dwelmmisbruik naamlik tik, kindermishandeling en selfs kinderverwaarlosing wat gelei het tot die verwydering van kinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea dat armoede veral in Paarl-Oos \u2019n groot rol in kindermishandeling speel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar is dit sommige ouers wat byvoorbeeld werkloos is en aansoek doen om hulptoelaes en dit dan wanbestee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKinders versuim om skool te gaan, sommige raak by dwelms betrokke en dit gee later aanleiding tot kindermishandeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSassa moet meer kontrolemaatre\u00ebls instel wanneer hulptoelaes uitbetaal word. In die verlede moes die biologiese ouers bewyse indien van wat hulle met die hulptoelae doen \u2013 bewyse van skoolvergaderings bywoon, rapporte van kinders wat \u2019n toelae ontvang asook bewyse van kliniekbesoeke,\u201d verduidelik sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verder s\u00ea sy as maatskaplike werker is dit nie altyd maklik om kinders uit die sorg van hul ouers te verwyder nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKinders word nou baie jonger weggevat, en dis veral babas, kleiner kinders en jonger tieners wat verwyder word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea elke geval wat sy hanteer het, was vir haar uniek en kinders verstaan nie altyd waarom hulle verwyder moet word indien hul ouers hul ouerlike verantwoordelikheid versuim het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten slotte s\u00ea Rhode sy het altyd die leuse van Minnie Hofmeyr-kollege uitgevoer om \u201cDiens aan God en medemense te verrig<\/span>\u201d <\/i>om haar in haar werk uit te leef. \u201cDankie aan elke mens en kind wat my pad gekruis het en vir wie ek \u2019n verskil kon maak,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cDaar is \u2019n tyd om jou beroep te begin
