Jy moet met \u2019n oop hand staan, dan sal jy ontvang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met di\u00e9 beginsel voor o\u00eb het die hulpverleningsorganisasie HOOP \u2019n indrukwekkende verskil gemaak in die lewe van minderbevoorregtes in die noordelike voorstede van Kaapstad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As deel van hul sesde verjaarsdagvieringe het HOOP \u2019n tamaai geldelike donasie aan die Paarlskool vir Gestremdes in Brackenfell gemaak. Daar was Vrydag groot opgewondenheid by hul perseel in Patryssingel in Okavango Park waar jolig partytjie gehou is nadat \u2019n tjek vir R50 000 aan Anneline Norman, hoof van Paarlskool, oorhandig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Norman sal die donasie help om talle uitdagings by die skool te bowe te kom. Die geld wat deur die nie-winsgewende Paarlskool Ontwikkelingstigting bestuur word, sal help om onder meer infrastruktuur by die skool op te knap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie donasie was \u2019n baie groot verrassing,\u201d s\u00ea Norman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool, wat vanjaar 47 jaar oud is, onderrig 330 kinders wat fisiek, serebraal of leergestremd is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie 130 personeellede kom daagliks te staan teen die vele fisiese, maatskaplike en akademiese uitdagings waardeur die kinders in die gesig gestaar word. Ons kinders is broos en verg gespesialiseerde aandag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar is ook groot finansi\u00eble nood onder baie van ons leerders, wie se gesinne nie skoolgeld, vervoergeld of koshuisgeld kan betaal nie,\u201d s\u00ea Norman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altesame 200 leerders, baie in rolstoele, word daagliks op 15 busroetes in Kaapstad en van so ver as Wellington en die Strand skool toe vervoer en 40 kinders gaan in die koshuis tuis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNog \u2019n groot uitdaging is om die persepsies oor wat \u2019n gestremde leerder kan en nie kan doen nie, te verander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGestremdes kan \u2019n groot bydrae maak in die samelewing en ons poog om die speelvak gelyk te maak. Ons kinders is baie broos, maar het ook die reg om groot te droom en ons moedig hulle elke dag aan,\u201d s\u00ea Norman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skool se koor was verlede jaar naaswenners by die gewilde ABC Motsepe South African Schools Choir Eistedfod, wat in Johannesburg plaasgevind het, en spog ook vanjaar met \u2019n atletiekspan wat in die Wes-Kaap-kampioenskap in die Paarl gaan meeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As \u2019n gemeenskapsprojek van Bok Radio, het HOOP sy deure op 1 Maart 2018 geopen in reaksie op die armoede en nood in plaaslike gemeenskappe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In nadenke oor die afgelope ses jaar s\u00ea Wilinda Ford, projekbestuurder van HOOP, dat die sukses van die organisasie alleenlik moontlik was te danke aan die ondersteuning van die publiek, vrywilligers en borge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is dankbaar en trots. As ek dink hoe ons begin het met net twee sakke klere wat ons uitsorteer het tot vandag waar ons kan s\u00ea ons het die voorreg om honderde mense se lewens aan te raak,\u201d s\u00ea Ford. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns vrywilligers werk met \u2019n passie voor en agter die skerms, maar word voldoende beloon om die blydskap op mense se gesig te sien.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie verskaf bystand aan hulpbehoewendes nadat \u2019n sorgvuldige ondersoek gedoen is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf dit nou \u2019n kind is wat \u2019n paar rugby-toks benodig, of brandweerpersoneel wat energiestafies nodig het, ons help waar ons kan. Ons voorsien individue en gesinne van kospakkies, klere en geskenkbewyse. Ons reik ook uit na dierewelsynorganisasies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior burgers is veral hoog op HOOP se prioriteitslys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns fokus baie op bejaardes wat probeer oorleef op \u2019n Sassa-toelaag van \u2019n rapsie oor R2 000. Ons is tans besig met beplanning om \u2019n ouetehuis te besoek waar ons \u2019n ete gaan voorsit en tyd saam met die bejaardes gaan spandeer,\u201d s\u00ea Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan bied HOOP ook \u2019n gratis diens aan om werksoekers by te staan, deur poste namens maatskappye op hul platform te adverteer. In die afgelope jaar het die organisasie 147 mense gehelp om werk te kry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie se netjiese tweedehandse winkel is sy grootse bron van inkomste. Daar kan jy enigiets van \u2019n goeie paar skoene tot huisware koop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMense pak hul kaste uit en kom skenk klere en ander goedere wat ons hier verkoop. Al di\u00e9 geld word teruggeploeg in die werk wat ons doen,\u201d s\u00ea Ford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organisasie het al vele uitspattige versoeke gekry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was iemand wat gevra het vir \u2019n groter motor om sy groeiende gesin rond te ry, \u2019n jong paartjie wat gevra het vir \u2019n wittebrood en ook \u2019n ouer paartjie wat gevra het vir \u2019n nuwe verloofring om hul 30-jaar- herdenking te vier. Dit is nie werklik nood nie, so ons vat dit maar met \u2019n knippie sout,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op die pad vorentoe s\u00ea Ford is ook groot drome aan die broei vir die organisasie. \u201cDalk kan ons oor nog ses jaar \u2019n gebou van ons eie h\u00ea. Daar is altyd hoop. Waar God is, is daar hoop,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
