\u2019n Ma en dogter van De Doorns het albei vroe\u00ebr vandeesmaand toekennings ontvang vir die werk wat hulle in Doha, Katar, doen.<\/p>\n
Die Panache Women of Wonder-toekennings is op 10 Mei gehou. Hierdie toekenning is internasionaal erken en 1 000 vroue het dit vanjaar in Suid-Afrika, Mauritius, Londen, Indi\u00eb en Doebai ontvang.<\/p>\n
\u201cFarzana Mayet is die hoof en organiseerder van hierdie geleenthede om erkenning te gee aan vroue oor die hele w\u00eareld. Hulle eer vroue vir hul uitstaande en onbaatsugtige toewyding om ander te help om hul volle potensiaal te bereik, terwyl hul positiewe bydraes \u2019n impak maak binne hul gebied en ook verder. Hulle gee erkenning aan vroue wat uitsonderlike leierskap, innovasie en invloed getoon het,\u201d verduidelik Sofia Eviesen, een van die plaaslike ontvangers van die toekenning.<\/p>\n
Eviesen werk as \u2019n kliniese verpleegleier, en het die toekenning juis vir haar werk ontvang. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n wonderlike geleentheid en \u2019n \u201cgoed-voel\u201d-oomblik. \u2019n Mens dink mos altyd dit sal nie met jou gebeur nie,\u201d vertel Eviesen uit Doha. <\/p>\n
Hoewel hierdie toekenning onverwags was, is sy tog baie trots op haarself.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie toekenning beteken baie vir my, want my droom het \u2019n werklikheid geword. My familie kyk op na my en ek is trots op myself. Ek het nie toegelaat dat armoede en omstandighede my einddoel bepaal nie. My voete bly plat op die aarde, want my ma het my altyd herinner om nooit te vergeet waar ek vandaan kom nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy het 34 jaar gelede besluit om \u2019n loopbaan in verpleegkunde te volg om mense te help.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk wou mense help; die seer wegneem wat \u2019n mens so baie in die gemeenskappe sien. My ma het almal gedokter \u2013 mense en diere. Ons het altyd grappe daaroor gemaak en gelag, maar ek dink die omgee en naasteliefde kom van haar af.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eviesen werk al sedert 2005 in die buiteland en het eers in Saoedi\u00eb-Arabi\u00eb gewerk.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het egter in 2017 in Doha begin werk. Ek werk al sedert 2005 in die Midde-Ooste. Ek het vir agt jaar in Saoedi-Arabi\u00eb gewerk en werk nou al sewe jaar in Doha, Katar. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie werksomstandighede is baie beter hier. Ons word ordentlik vergoed vir die werk wat ons doen en ons kry goeie voordele. Ons word waardeer.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sy is ook die stigter van die alombekende De Doorns-Gemeenskapsblad op Facebook en het \u2019n baie spesiale plek in haar hart vir daardie dorp en sy mense.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk gaan kuier gereeld in De Doorns. Dis my mense; daar is ek op my gemak om tussen my familie en vriende te wees. Die Hexvallei het \u2019n spesiale bekoring vir my. <\/p>\n
\u201cOnthou, ek het grootgeword en kinderdrome gehad, wat vandag \u2019n realiteit is. Ek het \u2019n boek geskryf \u2013 Drome sonder grense <\/span>\u2013 en daar is \u2019n spesiale gedig oor my drome vir die Hexvallei. \u2019n Mens hoef nie te stagneer waar jy is nie,\u201d s\u00ea Sofia.<\/p>\n \u201cEk het die blad in Desember 2017 begin. Ek kuier by al die oumense en luister na almal se lief en leed. Toe kry ek die idee om die Facebookblad te begin. Ek wens net ek kon meer doen vir De Doorns se mense. Gemeenskap is om daar te wees vir jou mense. Dis nie altyd moontlik nie. Ek probeer waar ek kan. Niemand hoef te weet wat ek vir wie doen nie. Mens weet, ek doen nie dinge om gesien te word nie. Dis net om die nood te verlig. Ek maak dus nie eintlik \u2019n ophef van wat ek nie doen nie.\u201d <\/p>\n Haar dogter, Stephanie Eviesen, is \u2019n onderwyser in Doha. Sy het in 2020 gegaan om by haar ma te gaan kuier, maar met die Covid-19-beperkings kon sy nie terugvlieg nie en het toe daar begin werk soek.<\/p>\n \u201cEk het 2020 Doha toe getrek. Ek wou nader aan my ma wees en het aanvanklik net gegaan vir vakansie, maar met die Covid-beperkings kon ek nie terugvlieg nie en ek het toe besluit om werk te soek. Ek was gelukkig om \u2019n werk as \u2019n onderwyser gekry, en soos hulle s\u00ea, the rest is history<\/i>.\u201d <\/p>\n Stephanie voel verheug en vereer deur die toekenning wat sy ontvang het.<\/p>\n \u201cDit was baie onverwags. Ek is verheug en ge\u00eberd \u2013 veral om saam my met ma, wat my rolmodel is, benoem te wees. <\/p>\n \u201cDie toekenning beteken baie vir my omdat dit net weer eens bewys \u2013 dit maak nie saak wat jy doen nie, solank jy probeer om \u2019n verskil in iemand se lewe te maak.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Ma en dogter van De Doorns het albei vroe\u00ebr
