Stephn\u00e9 Botha is die afgelope naweek as die Worcester Rotari\u00ebrs se nuwe president ingehuldig. Sy is sedert 2010 betrokke by Innovation for the Blind en is sedert 2019 hul uitvoerende hoof. <\/p>\n
\n Standard<\/i> het \u2019n paar vrae aan haar gestel. <\/p>\n
\n Hoe lank is jy nou al deel van die Rotari\u00ebrs en wat het jou destyds laat besluit om by hulle aan te sluit?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Ek is nog slegs sedert Maart 2020 \u2019n lid. Ek het egter al \u2019n langer verbintenis met die Rotari\u00ebrs. Van lank voor ek by Innovation begin werk het, het die Rotari\u00ebrs reeds jaarliks vir ons inwoners kom braai en so \u2019n verskil gemaak in die lewe van mense met visuele gestremdhede. Ek het aangesluit by die Rotari\u00ebrs omdat die organisasie vir my \u2019n geleentheid bied om op betekenisvolle wyse in die gemeenskap betrokke te raak en so \u2019n verskil te maak.<\/p>\n
\n Was dit jou doel om eendag die president te wees of was dit iets onverwags?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Ek het nie aangesluit met \u2019n mikpunt om die president te word nie. Dit is egter vir my \u2019n baie groot eer. Ek is natuurlik terde\u00eb bewus van die groot verantwoordelikheid wat hiermee gepaard gaan.<\/p>\n
Ek kyk met dankbaarheid terug oor my Rotari\u00ebr-reis tot op hierdie punt en sien met versigtige optimisme uit na dit wat voorl\u00ea.<\/p>\n
\n Hoe het jy gevoel toe jy uitvind dat jy Worcester Rotari\u00ebrs se nuwe president gaan wees?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Dit het natuurlik met opgewondenheid gepaard gegaan.<\/p>\n
Maar dit sou ook onverantwoordelik wees om nie ook \u2019n bietjie skrikkerig te wees vir die uitdaging nie.<\/p>\n
Ek voel egter ge\u00eberd dat my mede-Rotari\u00ebrs my gekies het vir hierdie posisie.Is daar enige nuwe projekte of inisiatiewe wat jy in hierdie jaar van stapel wil stuur?<\/b><\/p>\n
Ek is bevoorreg om \u2019n toegewyde span te h\u00ea wat saam beplan aan \u2019n nuwe geldinsamelingsprojek \u2013 \u2019n baie spesiale Kersfeesopvoering \u2013 in samewerking met een van die skole in Worcester.<\/p>\n
Hierdie spesiale geleentheid sal ons die geleentheid bied om geld in te samel wat ons weer tot voordeel van die gemeenskap kan aanwend. <\/p>\n
\n Het jy dalk \u2019n boodskap vir die gemeenskap namens die Rotari\u00ebrs?<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Vanjaar se tema is om hoop te gee en dit is vir my so \u2019n belangrike strewe \u2013 as dit goed gaan met ons gemeenskap, het dit \u2019n positiewe impak op ons almal se lewe.<\/p>\n
\n Verduidelik kortliks oor jou rol by Innovation for the Blind en hoe lank jy nou al betrokke is.<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Ek is sedert 2010 in diens van Innovation for the Blind. Ek het my ongelooflike Innovation-avontuur begin as die arbeidsterapeut. Dit was \u2019n ongelooflike voorreg om op grondvlak projekte saam met ons inwoners te kon dryf en later het ek die bestuur van die tehuise oorgeneem.<\/p>\n
In 2017 het ek die operasionele bestuurder geword en toe, in 2019, die uitvoerende hoof.<\/p>\n
Vir my is dit die grootste voorreg wanneer ek kan deel daarin om die ongelooflike potensiaal van mense met visuele gestremdhede in ons sorg te ontsluit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
