\u2019n VISION\u00caR word beskou as \u2019n innoverende persoon, \u2019n siener en \u2019n dromer. Iemand wat ge\u00efnspireerd is om aksie te neem en grensverskuiwende werk te doen in hulle gemeenskap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dis presies hoe die drie stigterslede van die Pay It Forward Community Foundation (PIFCF), Sonja du Preez, Liz\u00e9 Saunders en Anneli Gouws, beskryf kan word vir hulle baanbrekerswerk in die gemeenskap, die afgelope ses jaar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe di\u00e9 stigterslede besef hoe groot die voedselnood in skole rondom hulle werklik is, kon hulle nie anders as om hande bymekaar te sit en te begin werk nie. Met volharding en baie gebede begin hulle toe hul eerste voedselnood projek in 2019 en sedertdien klop PIFCF se hart warm vir hulle gemeenskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met verskeie suksesvolle projekte en getuienisse oor die lewens-veranderende boodskappe wat aan leerders gebring word wat tema\u2019s soos respek, selfbeeld, en liefde insluit, gee hulle weer hoop aan die wat hoop verloor het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tans reik die organisasie uit na 15 skole in Kariega, Despatch en Gqeberha, en bereik hulle sowat 15 000 leerders in \u2019n skoolweek. Hierdie getal het drasties toegeneem vandat hulle begin het en daarom kan Du Preez en Saunders nie anders as om te beaam dat die stories tydens uitreike hulle diep aanraak, en dat die nood in die gemeenskap en die dankbaarheid wat hulle ontvang hulle motiveer om aan te hou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met stigterslede wat sulke groot harte het is dit nie verbasend dat hulle net \u2019n verskil plaaslik maak nie, maar sowel as in Namibi\u00eb waar die organisasie tans \u2019n sesjarige seun met \u2019n breingewas ondersteun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm na kinders se fisiese nood te kyk is een aspek van dit (PIFCF se voedselnood uitreike), en dis \u2019n baie groot nood wat ons regtig het in skole, maar ons harte strek verder en dieper as dit want ons hele hart is om ouers, gesinne en kinders te onderrig,\u201d s\u00ea Saunders, wat ook hierdie jaar \u2019n projek op die been gebring het wat skole se graad 10 en 11 leerders besoek om hulle raad te gee oor hoe om met finansies te werk. \u2019n Projek wat Saunders, self \u2019n besigheidseienaar, glo van onskatbare waarde sal wees in die kinders se lewens n\u00e1 skool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toe die hoendervleis woorde, \u201cMamma\u2026pappa\u2026as ons vanaand doodgaan sal ons darem saam doodgaan,\u201d van \u2019n seun wat saam met sy ouers in hulle dak moes wegkruip tydens die Junie vloede verlede jaar, by Du Preez uitgekom het, het dit haar so diep geraak dat sy dadelik met haar hele hart begin uitreik het na die inwoners van Lapland, Kariega. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daardie vloede het talle inwoners weerloos gelaat en te danke aan goedhartige skenkings van besighede in Nelson Mandelabaai (wat PIFCF ondersteun) kon kos, klere, komberse, dakplate en meubels geskenk word aan behoeftige inwoners van Lapland, Rosedale en Greenshields. Die skenkings het dit ook moontlik gemaak vir die PIFCF om vir \u2019n 78-jarige inwoner van Lapland, verlede November, \u2019n huis bou en ten volle te meubileer nadat sy haar huis verloor het in die vloede en vir weke by haar buurvrou op die grond moes slaap. Hulle beoog om nog drie huise te bou in Lapland later di\u00e9 jaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die jaar alreeds volstoom aan die gang, is die stigterslede van die Pay it Forward Community Foundation kinderlik opgewonde oor hulle opkomende projekte. Twee spesifieke projekte is heel bo aan die prioriteitslys. Daar word gepoog om uit te reik na gesondheidswerkers in die voorste linie as teken van dankbaarheid vir hulle harde werk en ook om hulle voedselnood uitreike te laat groei sodat geen kind honger moet ly nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
