We are there for someone on their lowest day ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_efd900ae\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cBut seeing the look in their eyes, the smile through the tears \u2026 nobody can ever take that feeling away from you that you have been able to help somebody and make their burden a little lighter. This is why we do this \u2013 to help people, to give hope and hopefully make the world a little better,\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VEP has 18 volunteers in Durbanville and 10 in Fisantekraal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe as volunteers work with the police to assist victims of traumatic crime, such as armed robbery, house robberies, rape, murder, motor vehicle accidents and inquests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_a9b48c80\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cOur aim is to comfort people, contain the situation and help where possible.

While they saw victims in an average of 19 cases per month in 2019 before the Covid-19 pandemic, the numbers has dwindled down to about four cases per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVictims really do need support. The police officers must call us out, even if we just make the victim a cup of coffee,\u201d said Danielle Cronje, a volunteer of VEP Durbanville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_78b588cc\">\n<div class=\"text\">\u201cVictims are often reluctant to accept help \u2013 for several reasons.

Victims often had to stand in the street due to lack of space. This new facility is not a nice to have, but a necessity. The Wendy house was becoming dilapidated and was not safe for victims anymore.
