<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nYvonne het in 1989 as drywer by Drostdy begin werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cO genade! Daardie ou blou kombi was oor die muur. As jy stop, moes jy gou spring met \u2019n pannetjie, want die olie het onder by die enjin uitgestroom. Die kombi is darem later reggemaak.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy is in 2001 as Drostdy se bestuurder aangestel nadat Alida Pienaar, haar voorganger, uitgetree het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Drostdy moet daar gewoeker en gewerk word en sonder die gemeenskap se ondersteuning sal die werkplek nie sy deure kan oophou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarom word daar jaarliks tonne klein-koekies en brood gebak, naaldwerk en houtwerk gedoen om te verkoop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt alles om te sorg dat die sowat 83 verstandelik gestremdes konstruktief besig gehou en versorg word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie dankie aan die publiek, besighede, kerke, skole, die Rotari\u00ebrs en Lions vir julle ondersteuning deur die jare. Dankie dat julle Drostdy en sy mense in julle harte hou en met so \u2019n oop hand gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was goeie jare. Maar die Here het vir my Jesaja 43 vers een gegee en ges\u00ea dit is nou genoeg, so ek s\u00ea totsiens. Ek het vrede,\u201d s\u00ea Yvonne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mia Smit, maatskaplike werker en be-kende Rotari\u00ebr op Uitenhage, het die leisels begin Augustus by Yvonne oorgeneem as bestuurder van Drostdy Werkplek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy is op-en-wakker en aan-die-gang en ek w\u00e9\u00e9t sy gaan Drostdy Werkplek en sy mense met liefde en toewyding dien,\u201d s\u00ea Yvonne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
