start<\/span> en sy wiele draai, het ek heel agter in die 55-sitplekbus gaan sit. My stoutgatdinge van kleintyd was terug in my gedagtes, want skoolbusry was nog altyd lekker,\u201d s\u00ea Johan Oosthuizen van Fuel on Wheels, na sy eerste rit in die herstelde skoolbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFuel on Wheels was die dryfkrag agter die projek om di\u00e9 skoolbus weer aan die ry te kry. Oosthuizen en verskeie fietsryers het die moordende uitdaging aangepak ter bewusmaking van die skoolbus-projek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het \u2019n maand-en-\u2019n-half gelede met die projek begin en binne die eerste paar dae was dit so goed soos gedane sake. Ons het gew\u00e9\u00e9t daardie bus gaan loop voor die skool sluit,\u201d s\u00ea Oosthuizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laerskool Winterberg se skoolhoof, Randall Mapoe, s\u00ea daar is soveel uitdagings dat die herstel van die skoolbus nie eers op die prioriteitslys was nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is in ekstase! Nog nooit in my onderwys-loopbaan het ek soveel samewerking vanuit \u2019n gemeenskap beleef nie. Ons is aangedaan en emosioneel oor Uitenhage se mense wat hierdie bus hulle verantwoordelikheid gemaak het. Dit het ons nie \u2019n sent gekos nie en daar loop hy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom is hy aangeraai om eerder die skoolbus te verkoop omdat dit te veel sou kos om dit te herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDiep binne my het ek geweet, nee \u2026 wag so bietjie, elders gaan \u2019n engel verskyn. En daardie engel het in die vorm van Johan Oosthuizen en sy ondersteuners gekom. Baie baie dankie aan Fuel on Wheels, Eddies Garage, Splash Car Wash en so baie ander weldoeners vir elkeen se bydrae. Dit is ongelooflik!\u201d s\u00ea Mapoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oosthuizen het n\u00f3g planne vir die bus. \u201cOns is nog nie klaar nie, die bus lyk 1937 maar in samewerking met Odds and Ends wil ons dit heeltemal oor brand<\/span> sodat dit 2020 lyk en \u2019n regte pimp ride <\/span>kan wees vir die kinders en talk of town <\/span>word,\u201d s\u00ea Oosthuizen. \u201cHierdie projek het w\u00e9\u00e9r gewys, mense is warm om te help. Dit is knop-in-die-keel nice<\/span> om te sien hoe so \u2019n klein ding \u2019n groot verskil maak. Om die trots te sien waarmee Chris van Dalen weer agter die stuurwiel inklim, is priceless<\/span>. Dit was en is nou weer sy pride and joy<\/span>,\u201d s\u00ea Oosthuizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Onderdele skaars maar almal help<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eddie Strydom van Eddie\u2019s Garage s\u00ea Fuel on Wheels het hom genader om te help met die skoolbus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie bus het \u2019n gasket<\/span> geblaas en daarom het dit vir vyf jaar gestaan. Ons het die enjin oorgedoen, die ratte gestel en \u2019n verkoeler wat deur iemand anders geskenk is ingesit,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cDit is \u2019n ou 1980\u2019s Nissan-bus en om onderdele te kry was \u2019n groot gesukkel. Maar hy loop pragtig en idle<\/span> so stil dit klink of hy nogsteeds staan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nDenzil Rossouw, die skool se beheerraadsvoorsitter s\u00ea, \u201cvan die ouers se kant af is hulle ongelooflik dankbaar teenoor almal wat gehelp het. Die Here se\u00ebn die skool op wonderbaarlike maniere en ons wens ook dieselfde se\u00ebn toe aan die mense met oop harte en hande.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Mapoe het di\u00e9 ondersteuning van die gemeenskap \u2019n positiewe reaksie veroorsaak en is daar skielik meer belangstelling van ouers om hul kinders by Laerskool Winterberg in te skryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n )<\/span> Buiten die bus het Fuel on Wheels se betrokkenheid by die skool ook tot gevolg gehad dat die skool se kosprojek ondersteuning gekry het vanaf Classic Meats sowel as Wayne Pheiffer se kos-pakkie-veldtog. <\/span><\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
