Die agtjarige Will Stevens se droom om eendag \u2019n polisieman te word, sal nooit verwesenlik kan word nie, maar di\u00e9 gr. 2-leerder het hom Donderdag 4 April soos \u2019n ware polisiebeampte gedra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 Parkview Prim\u00ear-leerder ly aan \u2019n seldsame siekte, progeria, \u2019n dodelike siekte wat lyers vinniger verouder. Lyers leef gemiddeld net tot hulle 14 jaar oud is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die progeria-navorsingsinstituut is daar w\u00eareldwyd 157 lyers wat aan di\u00e9 oumenssiekte ly en slegs twee is in Suid-Afrika.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kapt. Cyril Dicks, \u2019n plaaslike polisiewoordvoerder, s\u00ea die laerskool het verlede kwartaal \u2019n versoek gerig om Will, wat Saterdag 30 Maart verjaar het, soos \u2019n polisieman te laat voel. Di\u00e9 versoek het glo almal ge\u00adraak en Dicks s\u00ea hulle het besluit om aan die skool se wens te voldoen en Will se droom waar te laat word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parkview het \u2019n partytjie gere\u00ebl wat deur al die graad tweetjies bygewoon is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elke jaar word Will medies gesproke agt jaar ouer, wat beteken di\u00e9 seuntjie se liggaampie is 64 jaar oud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will het Saterdag 6 April met loeiende sirenes en in sy polisie-uniform by sy partytjie opgedaag. Die partytjie was \u2019n groot aff\u00eare met 150 maats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die maats het gedans en koekies en koeldrank geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Pedro Stevens, Will se ma, is hy drie en half maan\u00adde vroeg gebore. Hy moes n\u00e1 sy geboorte nog \u2019n maand en \u2019n half in die hospitaal bly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy s\u00ea haar kind is reeds op vier maande met progeria gediagnoseer, maar dit het haar nooit ondergekry nie. \u201cEk wil hom soos \u2019n normale seuntjie grootmaak en daarom het ek hom in \u2019n hoofstroom\u00adskool gesit. Hy babbel aanhou\u00addend en het \u2019n groot liefde vir dans,\u201d het sy ma opgewonde aan Weskus Nuus<\/i> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shannon Cordom, Will se juffrou, s\u00ea hy is baie aktief in die klas en wil weet waarom hy nooit rondgestuur word nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cordom s\u00ea al raak hy gou moeg, wil hy betrokke wees in die klas en het \u2019n goeie sin vir humor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy is gewis baie geliefd in die skool en almal is baie beskermend teenoor hom,\u201d s\u00ea Cordom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will het aan Weskus Nuus<\/i> ges\u00ea hy geniet dit by die skool en s\u00ea sy juffrou is nie baie streng nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel ook dat hy baie maatjies het en met almal speel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy droom bly steeds om \u2019n polisieman te word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens sy ma is dit \u2019n plesier om Will in die huis te h\u00ea en gebruik hy nooit sy siekte as \u2019n verskoning nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weens werksomstandighede, gaan daar soms dae verby dat Pedro nie haar seuntjie sien nie, maar sy s\u00ea sy sal hom vir niks in die w\u00eareld verruil nie. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
