In \u2019n Vrouemaandprogram ter herinnering aan die Amerikaanse student Amy Biehl, wat in die apartheidsjare in die vroe\u00eb jare negentig in Gugulethu vermoor is, is op Dinsdag 6 Augustus deur die Ho\u00ebrskool DF Malan aangebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leerders is by \u2019n saalbyeenkoms geleer oor Amy se missie om Suid-Afrika se pad na ware demokrasie te verseker. So ook is meer vertel oor haar tragiese moord en die vergifnis van haar moordenaars deur haar ouers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leerders is ook voorgestel aan die stigting wat geskep is ter ere van haar lewe en dood, die Amy Foundation, voormalig bekend as die Amy Biehl Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die stigting is genoem na di\u00e9 student, \u2019n begaafde en dinamiese jong vrou, wat onvermoeid saam met lede van die African National Congress (ANC) by die Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland se gemeenskapsregsentrum aan die nuwe Grondwet en vroueregte gewerk het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het ook in haar tyd as \u2019n uitruilstudent in die land gehelp om kiesers vir die eerste demokratiese verkiesing in 1994 te registreer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 25 Augustus 1993 is Amy se lewe tragies kortgeknip in \u2018n daad van politieke geweld in Gugulethu net buite Kaapstad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vier jong mans, Mzikhona Nofemela, Ntobeka Peni, Vusumzi Ntamo en Mongezi Manqina, is skuldig bevind aan haar moord. Nadat hulle vyf jaar in die tronk deurgebring het, is amnestie toegestaan ??deur Amy se ouers, Linda en Peter Biehl, sowel as die Waarheid-en-Versoeningskommissie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vasbeslote om Amy se liefde vir Suid-Afrika en haar geloof in die waarheids-en-versoeningsproses te eer, het Amy se ouers di\u00e9 organisasie gestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmy se spore, sowel as haar dood, in Suid-Afrika getuig nie net van die groot impak wat sy gehad het nie, maar ook van \u2019n nalatenskap danksy haar ouers se geskenk van vergifnis, menslikheid en empatie. Dit het daardie impak honderdvoudig vergroot,\u201d het Nicolette Solomon, adjunkhoof van DF Malan, voorgelees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHier is \u2018n vrou wat \u2018n vol lewe gelei het en aanhou inspireer,\u201d het Solomon bygevoeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Michelle Bagley, die kommunikasie- en finansieringsbestuurder van die Amy Foundation, het leerders vertel oor twee van Amy se moordenaars wat tot vandag toe aan die stigting toegewyd is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie twee mans, \u2018Izzy\u2019 Nofemela en Ntobeka Peni, is mense met wie ek tot vandag toe nog saamwerk. Ons is in die bedryf om jongmense se lewens te verander. Ntobeka is \u2019n wonderlike spreker en reis die w\u00eareld vol saam met Linda. Hy is \u2019n pa van drie dogters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groot klem is gel\u00ea op die krag van vergifnis op maniere waar dit oortreders in nuwe mense omskep om die lewe met positiewe impakte te benader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bagley het verder oor die Amy-stigting uitgebrei: \u201cOns ontwikkel, voed op en bemagtig jongmense. Ons missie is om daardie jongmense uit die townships<\/em> te kan neem en hul lewens te kan verander op \u2019n manier dat hulle holisties ontwikkel sal kan word en suksesvol in hul lewens sal kan wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die stigting se groot fokus is op jongmense tussen vyf en 35 jaar deur naskoolprogramme vir vyf- tot 18-jariges. Hulle bedryf ook programme vir jeugvaardigheidsontwikkeling vir 18- tot 35-jariges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het ongeveer 1\u2009400 jongmense in ons naskoolse programme. Ander programme behels geletterdheid, vergroening en omgewing, sowel as verskillende soorte sportprogramme. Ons jeug-vaardigheidsontwikkelingsprogramme is ook daarop geskoei om hulle te probeer aanmoedig om entrepreneurs te wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n N\u00e1 Bagley se toespraak het \u2019n DF Malan-leerder die verhoog betree. \u201cNamens ons almal wil ek u baie bedank vir hierdie wonderlike stigting. U woorde het ons nie net ingelig nie, maar ook diep ge\u00efnspireer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie werk wat jy doen om gemeenskapsbemagtiging en maatskaplike verandering te bevorder, is werklik merkwaardig en \u2019n bewys van \u2019n deel van \u2019n blywende nalatenskap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ter herdenking van Vrouemaand en die impak wat Amy op Suid-Afrika gemaak het, het DF Malan \u2019n roosboom, wat spesiaal vir die Amy Foundation gekweek is, aan Bagley oorhandig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHierdie roosboom simboliseer die groei, skoonheid en krag van jou eie wil,\u201d het die leerder ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ook ter ere van Amy se lewe en dood het DF Malan \u2019n spesiale liggietuin op die skoolterrein geskep waar n\u00f3g van die roosboompies geplant is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In \u2019n Vrouemaandprogram ter herinnering aan die Amerikaanse student Amy Biehl, wat in die apartheidsjare in die vroe\u00eb jare negentig in
