Hierdie dag gee ons die kans om hul buitengewone bydrae te erken.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terwyl baie die NSRI erken vir sy hoogs opgeleide seereddingspanne, sal ons binnekort ons vrywilligernetwerke uitbrei, wat Suid-Afrikaners in staat stel om as vrywilligers by die NSRI in verskeie hoedanighede betrokke te raak:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Seeredding- of soek-en-reddingspan \u2014 reageer op noodgevalle op Suid-Afrikaanse waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Pienk reddingsboeibewaarder \u2013 hou toesig oor die NSRI se kenmerkende pienk reddingsboeie wat by ho\u00ebrisiko-strande, riviere en damme regoor die land gele\u00eb is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Vrywilliger vir strandveiligheidskameras \u2013 monitor NSRI se strandveiligheidskameras van die huis af (al wat jy benodig is &#8216;n rekenaar, &#8216;n ho\u00ebspoed internetverbinding en NSRI-opleiding).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2192 Oorlewingswemvrywilliger \u2014 sluit aan by een van die NSRI se oorlewingswemgroepe om kinders die grondbeginsels van oorlewingswem by munisipale swembaddens regoor Suid-Afrika te leer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNSRI-vrywilligers bring moed, deernis en vaardigheid na elke uitroep- en waterveiligheidsinisiatief,\u201d s\u00ea Brett Ayres, Uitvoerende Direkteur van Reddingsdienste by NSRI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hulle verteenwoordig die beste van ons land \u2013 gewone mense wat

of dit nou is om lewens op see te red, om verdrinkings op Suid-Afrikaanse waters te voorkom, of om kinders te leer hoe om in water te oorleef \u2013 daar is plek vir almal wat graag aan hul
