“Die leerders, personeel \u00e9n die gemeenskap in die Cove verdien ‘n skoolgebou wat ook goed, netjies en mooi lyk van buite. Dit moet iets wees waarop die gemeenskap en kinders trots kan wees,” s\u00ea Karyke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En die dryfveer agter Steenberg’s Cove-laerskool se broodnodige en tydige verfprojek, is Jan Gibson, ‘n bekende inwoner in die Agterbaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Jan het die skool dringend ‘n nuwe verfbaadjie benodig en kon hy daarin slaag om ‘n ruim kontantskenking van ‘n plaaslike visfabriek in die dorp, Pioneer Fishing, te bekom. Di\u00e9 geld word gebruik vir onder meer verfaankope en lone vir die twee verwers, Dawid Galant en Cheslin Abrahams. Beide woon in die Cove en beskou hulle betrokkenheid by die Cove se welkome verfprojek as ‘n eer en voorreg. “Ons doen dit vir die gemeenskap en die kinders.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inwoner wat egter die breedste glimlag, is Jan Gibson. “Ek het ‘n sagte plekkie vir die skool \u00e9n die gemeenskap. Respek word hier deur Karyke en haar personeel gekweek. Dit maak jou trots. Ek is opgewonde oor dit wat reeds bereik is. Die werk is nog ver van klaar, maar dit is ons skooltjie en ek is trots op dit wat nou hier gedoen word,” s\u00ea Jan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die plaaslike NSRI-tak in die dorp, Stasie 44, het ook goeie rede om breed te glimlag. Di\u00e9 groep toegewyde seeredders het skaars ‘n week gelede ‘n kontant-hupstoot van sowat R12-duisend gekry n\u00e1 ‘n fondsinsamelingprojek deur ‘n plaaslike eiendomsagentskap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 jongste skenking van nagenoeg R17-duisend is gisteraand (17 Februarie) tydens ‘n funksie by Stasie 44 se basis in die dorp, aan di\u00e9 bedrywige plaaslike NSRI-tak oorhandig<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die geld is in Desember verlede jaar tydens die Shelley Point-landgoed se jaarlikse Kersfeesprojek ingesamel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
