Die reuk van goeie koffie is vir \u2019n groep Worcesteriete sinoniem met die reuk van \u2019n droom wat waar word. <\/p>\n
Die barista Arthur Breedt maak behendig \u2019n koppie koffie wat hy met melkskuim afrond. Hy vertel dat hy jare gelede \u2019n perkoleerder present gekry het en dit was die begin van \u2019n droom om eendag sy eie koffiewinkel te h\u00ea. Arthur is betrokke by Innovation for the Blind en is siggestremd. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk was so opgewonde toe ek die barista-kursus kon doen. Aan die begin was ek maar skrikkerig dat ek my met die koffiemasjien sou brand, maar ons het mooi geleer. Hierdie is vir my \u2019n begin sodat ek eendag my eie winkel kan oop- maak.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die Refresh Wellness and Barista Bar het sy deure verlede Woensdag 19 Februarie in Kerkstraat amptelik geopen. Die mooi ou gebou bied \u2019n lieflike ruimte vir \u2019n koffiewinkel. Benewens die koffie staan die groep siggestremde masseurs reg om die spanning uit gestresde lywe te masseer. <\/p>\n
Een van die masseurs, Johan Louw, vertel toe hy \u2019n kind was, het sy ma geleer hoe om masserings te doen en op hom geoefen. \u201cEk wou dit nog altyd ook kon doen en was so bly toe ek kon leer. Al voel dit soms of \u2019n mens se droom nooit gaan waar word nie, moet \u2019n mens net aanhou droom. Kyk watter goeie geleentheid het ek uiteindelik gekry!\u201d<\/p>\n
Die Refresh Wellness and Barista Bar is \u2019n inisiatief van Innovation for the Blind om geleenthede vir siggestremdes te skep. <\/p>\n
\u201cHierdie koffiewinkel is meer as net \u2019n koppie koffie of \u2019n massering. Dit gaan daaroor om \u2019n veilige omgewing en geleenthede te skep en in mense te glo,\u201d vertel Stephn\u00e9 Both, wat aan die stuur van Refresh staan. \u201cOns was baie gelukkig met skenkers wat ingekoop het in ons droom en dit help bewaarheid het. Die koffiewinkel word deur siggestremdes bestuur met net enkele siende personeel wat hulle bystaan. \u201cOns wil die siggestremdes nie net insluit nie, maar hulle die kans gee om by te dra en te floreer,\u201d het Botha ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
Refresh se deure is oop van 07:00 (net betyds vir \u2019n oggendkoffie!) tot 16:00. Op Saterdae is die winkel oop van 07:30 tot 13:00. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk wil graag mense se lewe beter maak,\u201d s\u00ea Arthur. \u201cKoffie is \u2019n goeie manier om dit te doen. Dit word mos nie verniet boeretroos genoem nie!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
