Doof SA-finalis van Kuilsrivier wil inspireer en stereotipes afbreek"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Met sy deelname aan Mnr. Doof SA wil Armand Groenewald (42) van Klipdam, Kuilsrivier, wys dat dowes groot hoogtes kan bereik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Groenewald, wat sedert geboorte gehoorgestrem is, s\u00ea dit is vir hom ‘n eer om Kuilsrivier nasionaal te verteenwoordig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My ma het tydens haar swangerskap in \u2019n klerewinkel gewerk. \u2019n Kollega daar het Duitse masels (Rubella) gehad en my ma het ook siek geword.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanneer swanger vroue die Rubella-virus gedurende die eerste trimester opdoen, kan dit lei tot ernstige geboortedefekte. Dit staan bekend as aangebore rubella-sindroom (CRS), wat onder meer die baba se gehoor kan aantas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ervaring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Op ‘n vraag oor mense wat skepties is oor inentings (wat as doeltreffend teen die Rubella-virus bewys is), s\u00ea Groenewald hy kan net uit sy persoonlike ervaring praat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In my geval het die Duitse Masels tydens my ma se swangerskap \u2019n groot impak op my lewe gehad. Ek verstaan dus hoe belangrik dit kan wees om sekere siektes te voorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ek glo elke mense \u2013 en ouer \u2013 moet altyd met hul dokter of gesondheidswerker praat om die beste, ingeligte besluit vir hul eie gesin te neem. Ek respekteer dat mense verskillende sienings het, maar my ervaring wys vir my hoe ernstig die gevolge van hierdie siekte kan wees.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy was van kleins af hardhorend en het twee gehoorapparate gedra. “Ek kon hoor en praat,” s\u00ea Groenewald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deur die jare het hy verskeie skole vir dowes en hardhorendes bygewoon: Carel du Toit (Tygerberg), De La Bat (Worcester), Sonitus en Transoranje (beide in Pretoria).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Toe ek 40 geword het, het ek die gehoor in my linkeroor verloor en besluit om \u2019n kogle\u00eare inplanting te kry. Dit het my baie gehelp en my lewe verbeter.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy geniet dit om na musiek te luister en sing graag saam \u2014”veral gospel, want dit gee my hoop.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geleenthede<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Die besluit om deel te neem aan Mnr. Doof SA 2025\/26 gaan vir hom daaroor om groter bewusmaking vir dowes in Suid-Afrika te skep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ek wil wys dat dowe mense talent het en groot dinge kan bereik.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy wil graag ander inspireer en help om stereotipes om die dowe gemeenskap af te breek. Die kompetisie bied ook die geleentheid vir persoonlike groei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel hy tans werkloos is, pak hy klein projekte aan soos sosialemediabemarking en die skep van motiverende inhoud. “Ek is aktief op soek na nuwe geleenthede,” s\u00ea hy.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisiteitsweek<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Groenewald is tans ook besig met ‘n geldinsameling vir die kompetisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Mnr. Doof SA-kompetisie word aangebied deur Miss, Mr & Mrs Deaf South Africa<\/a> (MDSA), ‘n onafhanklike organisasie sonder winsoogmerk, wat in 1995 gestig is vir die bemagtiging van dowes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die kompetisie begin jaarliks met oudisies en benoemings, waarna die finaliste aangewys word. Die wenner sal n\u00e1 afloop van die publisiteitsweek, wat in Maart volgende jaar plaasvind, by ‘n glansgeleentheid aangewys word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die finaliste word tydens die publisiteitsweek op hul persoonlikheid, selfvertroue, leierskap en kommunikasie beoordeel. Hulle neem ook deel aan liefdadigheidsprojekte en geldinsameling as deel van die beoordelingsproses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kostes
<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Elke finalis word aangemoedig om minstens R3000 in te samel om verblyf, kos en ander uitgawes tydens die publisiteitsweek te dek. Enige bedrag meer as R3000 kan aangewend word om hul reiskoste na Gauteng te dek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buiten geldelike bydraes kan sakeondernemings ook ‘n produk of diens aanbied, waarmee die finalis geld kan insamel.
