Dit het tot gevolg gehad dat die Elyashib-ondersteuningsgroep vroe\u00eber vanjaar gestig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sylvia Rosseaw weet hoe dit is as die \u201cEllen Pakkies-ding\u201d in jou gedagtes begin draai. Sy is die stigterslid en voorsitter van Elyashib. Saam met Delorees Gouws, sekretaris van die groep, is hulle besig om \u2019n spogtee te re\u00ebl waar twee formidabele sprekers oor kinders se dwelmverslawing gaan praat. Di\u00e9 sprekers is Ellen Pakkies en Magda Kleyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n <b><br>\n <b>Nasorgsentrum dringend nodig op U\u2019hage<\/b>\n<\/b><b>\n<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u201cHier is \u2019n toenemende en dringende nood om \u2019n nasorgsentrum vir gerehabiliteerde dwelmverslaafdes op Uitenhage te begin. Nie net vir nasorg nie, maar ook om voorkomende programme aan te bied,\u201d s\u00ea Sylvia.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<b>\n<p>\u201cDie behoefte na s\u00f3 \u2019n sentrum word al groter. Want na die wettiging van dagga is daar \u2019n skerp toename aan kinders wat dwelmverslaafdes is. Dagga en <span>Hubbly Bubbly<\/span> (waterpype) is waar dit begin. Daarna kom die sterker goed soos tik en al die ander dwelms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Volgens Delorees is die sentrum dringend nodig om ondersteuning te bied vir gerehabiliteerdes wat terugkeer na hulle huise, sowel as vir die familie van die verslaafde.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnthou, \u2019n gerehabiliteerde keer terug na dieselfde omgewing en omstandighede waarbinne hulle verslaafdes geword het. Op die oomblik is daar op Uitenhage geen nasorg nie. \u2019n Sentrum waar aktuele programme aangebied word en wat voortdurend berading bied, is broodnodig in ons gemeenskap,\u201d s\u00ea Delorees.<\/p>\n<p>Die spogtee dien as \u2019n fondsinsameling om so \u2019n nasorgsentrum op Uitenhage te begin.<\/p>\n<p>Volgens Sylvia is dit \u2019n verkeerde persepsie om werkloosheid te blameer vir die toename in dwelmverslaafdes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAl hoe meer kinders op laerskool begin dwelms gebruik \u2013 hulle is nie werkloos nie. Die teendeel is eerder waar dat dwelms werkloosheid veroorsaak,\u201d s\u00ea Sylvia. <\/p>\n<p>\n <b>Ellen Pakkies en Magda Kleyn se lewensdramas<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Ellen Pakkies se lewensdrama het internasionaal opslae gemaak toe sy op \u2019n dag in September, twaalf jaar gelede, geknak het oor haar dwelmverslaafde seun Adam se vernederings, leuens, aanrandings en diefstal en hom doodgemaak het. Sy het hom verwurg.<\/p>\n<p>Hiervoor het Ellen Pakkies \u2019n opgeskorte vonnis van drie jaar gekry en 280 uur se gemeenskapsdiens. <\/p>\n<p>Magda Kleyn, \u2019n oudverpleegster en stigter van die Tehillah-sentrum in Elsiesrivier, Kaapstad, was ook \u2019n slagoffer van geweld, mishandeling en die vernederende behandeling van \u2019n dwelmverslaafde kind.<\/p>\n<p>In \u2019n Kuier-onderhoud het Kleyn ges\u00ea, \u201cDaar word n\u00earens \u2019n probleemkind gebore nie. Stukkende huise maak kinders ook stukkend. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEk s\u00ea altyd vir vroue, gaan soek hulp en vra om hulp by die Here. Daar\u2019s tye wat jy vir jouself die skuld gee. As jy uitvind dit werk nie, wees liewer \u2019n enkelouer en voorbeeldig, as twee ouers wat baklei. Want jy doen meer skade aan die kinders.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\n <b>Spogtee<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>Die spogtee met Ellen Pakkies en Magda Kleyn word op Saterdag, 5 Oktober om 14:00 by Allanridge-gemeenskapsaal gehou. \u2019n Musiekgroep, Instruments of Praise sal ook optree. \u2019n Kerkdiens word op Sondag, 6 Oktober om 09:00 in die Allanridge-gemeenskapsaal gehou met Magda Kleyn as prediker.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kaartjies is R100 per persoon en sluit verversings in.
