Prudence Small van Wellington is \u2019n uitstekende voorbeeld van hoe Wamakersvallei Opleidingsentrum se puik, beroepsgerigte kursusse \u2019n jong skoolverlater kan help om ongekende hoogtes in \u2019n nuwe beroep te behaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prudence, wat Wamakers se kursus in Tuisversorging gevolg het, se eerste pasi\u00ebnt was \u2019n kwadrupleeg wat naby Kaapstad gewoon het. Prudence moes haar dag en nag versorg en bystaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na twee jaar het \u2019n bekende werkverskaffersorganisasie haar gehelp om werk in Amerika te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aanvanklik het sy daar \u2019n outistiese seuntjie versorg. Daarna het sy \u2019n pos as au pair in Florida gekry waar sy twee dogtertjies moes versorg. Die een dogtertjie was slegs drie maande oud en haar sussie drie jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy hierdie huisgesin het my loopbaan letterlik geblom,\u201d vertel Prudence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes wel drie tot vyf keer per nag opstaan om die twee kleuters behoorlik te versorg, maar hulle ouers het my onmiddellik laat voel soos een van die huisgesin. Ek het vakansietye saam met hulle oral in Amerika en tussen die Wes-Indiese Eilande rondgereis en die w\u00eareld leer ken. Na twee jaar het hulle my gehelp om na Suid-Afrika terug te keer vir \u2019n kort vakansie en om my visum te hernu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie ouma van die dogtertjies, wat toevallig ook \u2019n Suid-Afrikaner is, het in daardie tyd, toe my mense in Suid-Afrika \u2019n huis in Wellington gekoop het, ons van onskatbare praktiese raad bedien wat baie gehelp het om die transaksie vinnig en netjies af te handel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prudence is weer terug na Amerika, maar na meer as vier jaar het die verlange na haar mense en haar land die oorhand gekry. Sy het besluit om permanent huis toe te kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk en die Amerikaanse gesin is nog steeds boesemvriende. Hulle was sedertdien al vier keer in ons land. Twee keer het hulle in Durban vakansie kom hou en dan het hulle \u2019n vliegtuigkaartjie vir my gere\u00ebl sodat ek daar saam met hulle kon vakansie hou. Hulle was ook twee keer in die Boland en elke keer het ons saam gekuier \u2013 onlangs was hulle hier in Wellington om my mense te ontmoet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar wye werksondervinding het gesorg dat sy vandag \u2019n puik adminis-tratiewe betrekking beklee. Sy skryf die sukses wat sy tot dusver behaal het uitsluitlik toe aan die opleiding wat sy by Wamakers ontvang het. Volgens haar het Wamakers op ongekende wyse haar horisonne verbreed en gehelp om selfstandig in die lewe op te tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
