Daar was groot opgewondenheid onder die leerders van die landelike skool Groenberg Prim\u00ear naby Wellington, toe die personeel onlangs die moontlikheid opper dat die hele skool op \u2019n daguitstappie na Kaapstad kan gaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle sou na die Waterfront gaan, die Akwarium en die Kaapse Museum besoek. Daar is uitgewerk dat so \u2019n besoekie moontlik sou wees indien elke leerder R150 kan bydrae. Die geld het begin inrol, aanvanklik vinnig, toe al stadiger en stadiger want die kinders van Groenberg Prim\u00ear se ouers is feitlik deur die bank plaaswerkers en daar moet geknyp word om \u2019n los R150 in die hande te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Twee dae voor die voorgenome besoek aan Kaapstad het nog net 64 van die skool se 160 leerders hulle betaling van R150 gemaak. Die skoolhoof, Gloria Samson, het besluit dat as dit dan nie anders kan nie, die 96 wat o\u00ebnskynlik nie die R150 kan bybring nie maar moet tuisbly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Lid van die gewilde Wellingtonse FB-blad, WOW Wellington, het op daardie tydstip gehoor van die lot van die 96 leerders wat nie vir die uitstappie na die Kaap kan betaal nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy deel die hartseer van die tuisblyers met die ander lede van die FB-blad en vra of daar nie dalk WOW Wellingtonners is wat iets kan bydrae nie. Sy plaas ook die skool se bankrekeningnommer op die blad. Die lede van WOW Wellington reageer onmiddellik. Binne \u2019n uur begin die boodskappe instroom: iemand borg een leerder, nog iemand drie, nog iemand vyf. Twee uur later is daar genoeg geld in die bankrekening om elkeen van die 96 tuisblyers te laat saamgaan na die Kaap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns was oorstelp van vreugde,\u201d s\u00ea Gloria Sampson. \u201cToe die bus vol kinders die oggend na die Kaap vertrek, het die geld nog steeds ingestroom en ons kon selfs daaraan begin dink om elkeen van die leerders met \u2019n spesiale eetdingetjie in die loop van die dag trakteer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kinders het hulle vergaap aan die vreemde, blou onderwaterw\u00eareld in die Akwarium, hulle het die Museum besoek, deur die Kaapse strate gestap en uiteindelik hulle moe\u00eb voete in die Waterfront laat rus terwyl hulle smul aan die lekker eetgoed wat die skool vir hulle kon koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die hoof was baie van die kinders nog nooit in die Kaap nie. Benewens die Akwarium en Museum het hulle die see gesien, die groot skepe wat die hawe binne vaar, die woelige stadslewe en selfs \u2019n groot groep betogende studente wat in die Kaapse strate gemarsjeer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was heerlik om die verwondering op die kinders se gesigte te sien en vir ons as onderwysers was dit veral lekker om opmerkings te hoor soos: \u201cKyk daardie groot berg! Dis dieselfde berg waarvan daar \u2019n prentjie in my skoolboek is!\u201d s\u00ea Gloria Samson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie uitwerking wat hierdie uitstappie op die kinders gehad het, is verstommend. Ek weet ek praat namens elke onderwyser, elke ouer, elke lid van ons beheerliggaam as ek s\u00ea dat hierdie spontane reaksie van die mense van Wellington ons en die leerders van Groenberg tot splinternuwe hoogtes ge\u00efnspireer het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis \u2019n spontane liefdesgebaar wat \u2019n mens nuwe moed vir die toekoms van ons almal in hierdie land gee!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
