\u2019n Jong Weskus-sjef woeker met sy godgegewe talente om \u2019n verskil in jong behoeftige skoolkinders se lewe te maak en hulle te help om hul drome te bewaarheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op 20-jarige ouderdom klop Matthew Dreyden van Velddrif se hart warm vir sy gemeenskap en wil hy saam met sy gesin terugploeg in die skool en die Weskus-gemeenskap wat vir hom die platform geskep het om sy eie drome uit te leef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oud-hoofseun van die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield het reeds in sy matriekjaar in 2022 die MF Dreyden-fonds begin met die doel om kinders of leerders met spesifieke behoeftes te help en ook organisasies te ondersteun waar skoolleerders betrokke is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Terwyl Matthew verlede jaar nog besig was met sy opleiding om as sjef te kwalifiseer, het die idee vir \u2019n Langtafel-ete by hom opgekom om geld vir die fonds in te samel sodat dit aan meer kinders se behoeftes kan voorsien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk, saam met my gesin en familie, wou graag terugploeg in die skool [Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield] en die Weskus-gemeenskap en kyk waar ons \u2019n verskil kan maak. Volgens my het elkeen die reg om sy of haar drome na te jaag; dis vir my belangrik om seker te maak dat daardie leerder die nodige hulpbronne het om sy of haar drome te bereik.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Dreydens het die idee aan Hopefield se skoolhoof, Wehan Fourie, asook die voorsitter van die beheerliggaam, voorgel\u00ea, wat dadelik ingestem het. Die koe\u00ebl was deur die kerk en die eerste Come Dine with Matt-langtafelete is verlede jaar aangebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel hy aanvanklik die belangstelling wou toets, is sy grootste verwagtinge oortref toe die 60 kaartjies vinnig uitverkoop het en Fourie hom sommer die dag n\u00e1 die ete gekontak het om te vra of hulle dit vanjaar weer kan doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 keer was dit Matthew wat sonder huiwering ingestem het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die tweede aflewering van Come Dine with Matt is Vrydagaand (22 November) onder \u2019n groot markiestent in die voortuin van die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield gehou, met 95 gaste wat by die langtafelete kom aansit het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie jaar wou ek groter gaan en my disse meer verfyn. Dit was \u2019n viergangmaaltyd en ek wou dit eenvoudig hou, maar terselfdertyd my vaardighede tentoonstel. Ek het verskillende cuisines<\/i> \u2013 naamlik Italiaans, Mexikaans, Indies en Frans \u2013 gevat en \u2019n Suid-Afrikaanse kinkel in elke dis gesit. Die spyskaart was outentiek en dit was Chef Matt op die bord,\u201d vertel hy met \u2019n nederige trotsheid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nie net was die geleentheid \u2019n reusesukses met gaste wat behoorlik vol lof was vir die geurige disse, netjiese tafelbediening en feetjiemooi atmosfeer op een van die min windstil-aande in die Weskus nie, maar \u2019n allemintige R34 000 is ook met di\u00e9 geselligheid ingesamel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOm weer eens \u2019n volgepakte langtafel te h\u00ea, was vir my definitief iets wat uitgestaan het. Dit wys belangstelling in die MF Dreyden-fonds, die kinders in die gemeenskap, die skool en ook in my as jong entrepreneur en sjef in die gemeenskap.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die geld wat ingesamel is, gaan uitsluitlik aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield vir leerders met behoeftes in sport en kultuur asook skole en gemeenskapsprojekte waarby kinders in die bre\u00eb Weskus-gemeenskap baat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit het \u2019n R5 000-skenking aan Panorama Prim\u00ear ingesluit, wat aangewend sal word vir skoolskoene en skooldrag; R2 000 aan Diazville Prim\u00ear ten bate van skoolklere vir behoeftige leerders; R4 000 vir die Pencils for Smiles-skryfbehoefteprojek in Velddrif; R2 000 om skoolklere vir twee Noordhoek Prim\u00ear-leerders vir die nuwe skooljaar te koop; en R10 000 aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield om aan te wend vir behoeftige leerders wat op sport- en kulturele gebied uitblink, asook ander behoeftes wat die skool ge\u00efdentifiseer het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die oorblywende geld sal in die fonds bly en aangewend word namate \u2019n behoefte ontstaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy droom is dat ek graag wil h\u00ea meer behoeftige kinders aan die Weskus moet uit hierdie fonds voordeel trek. Dis vir my belangrik dat kinders van \u2019n jong ouderdom moet besef dat hulle groot moet droom en hul drome moet najaag. \u2019n Goeie sportman of -vrou moenie huiwer om by \u2019n sportdag of aan \u2019n kultuurgeleentheid te gaan deelneem net omdat hulle nie die nodige uitrusting het nie. Ek wil graag sorg vir diegene wat in daardie gevalle behoeftig is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar soos wat daar agter elke suksesvolle man \u2019n goeie vrou staan, staan daar agter di\u00e9 jong sjef \u2019n hele weermag wat hom deurentyd ondersteun en gegrond hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sal definitief my ouers, my broers en my suster wil bedank, wat my deur alles bygestaan en ondersteun het. Hulle bied my die nodige ondersteuning om my te help om my drome na te jaag. Die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield is soos my tweede huis en dis altyd lekker om huis toe te gaan. Mnr. Wehan en die skool het hul vertroue in ons geplaas om hierdie geselligheid te re\u00ebl en daarvoor sal ons hulle ewig dankbaar wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy bedank ook in besonders Snyer Business Consulting, wat hom raad gee en bystaan in sy reis; Glenryck en Pioneer Fishing, wat die hoofborg op die aand was; asook die ander borge \u2013 Glenwood Wines, Keyway Shipwright en Excellence Tailored for You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie dankie vir almal wat die aand bygewoon het en ook die inisiatief ondersteun \u2013 dit word opreg waardeer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat hou die res van die jaar vir di\u00e9 beskeie jong sjef in, wat reeds in die kombuis van vele Afrikaanse vermaaklikheidspersoonlikhede, onder wie Tracey Lange, Marciel Hopkins, Armand Aucamp en Dean Smith, voor die stoof gestaan het?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew vertel hy is tans besig met sy pastry<\/span>-kursus, wat hy teen Januarie aanstaande jaar sal voltooi, en hoop om dan meer ondervinding in die bedryf op te doen. \u201cTerselfdertyd wil ek my naam steeds uitkry en kyk hoe \u2018sjef Matt\u2019 kan groei en net groter en beter as sjef kan raak.\u201d.<\/span> Kontak die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield by 022 723 0040 of stuur e-pos na Matthew by
