Dertien jaar nadat die bekende reptielpark by Kleinplasie sy deure moes sluit, het \u2019n bekende diere-organisasie van Worcester besluit om hierdie trekpleister te heropen.<\/p>\n
Die reptielpark was \u2019n groot gunsteling, veral onder jongelinge, en het honderde besoekers maandeliks daar verwelkom.<\/p>\n
In 2010 moes hierdie besienswaardigheid met onmiddellike effek sy deure sluit en sedertdien is geen poging aangewend om dit weer op die been te bring nie.<\/p>\n
Dertien jaar later kan Worcesteriete weer daarna uitsien om binnekort alles wat kriewel en krioel te besoek en in die proses meer oor di\u00e9 diere te leer.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns is kinderlik opgewonde,\u201d vertel Juenieta Everson aan Standard<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Everson bestuur en bedryf die Sandy\u2019s Eden dierewelsynorganisasie in Worcester en is bekend vir haar ywer en toewyding aan diere se welstand in die streek. Sy dien nie net die Breedevallei nie, maar werk ook nou saam met owerhede in die Witzenberg.<\/p>\n
Sy en die span by Sandy\u2019s Eden het tydens \u2019n terreinbesoek op Vrydag 5 Mei al hul planne met Standard <\/i>gedeel.<\/p>\n
\u201cNie net gaan die ou reptielpark weer nuwe lewe kry en n\u00e1 meer as \u2019n dekade weer oop wees vir die publiek nie, maar Sandy\u2019s Eden gaan ook hierheen skuif. Ons gaan nou soveel ruimte tot ons beskikking h\u00ea om na die welstand van diere om te sien, maar ook die gemeenskap te betrek by wat ons doen,\u201d s\u00ea Everson.<\/p>\n
Hierdie ruimte gaan toegerus wees met \u2019n reptielpark, \u2019n dierekliniek, \u2019n isolasiesentrum vir optelhonde, hondehokke, \u2019n gebied waar katte vrylik kan beweeg, \u2019n speelgebied waar die publiek met diere kan speel en \u2019n inligtingsentrum waar bewusmakingsessies aangebied kan word.<\/p>\n
Die eienaar van Kleinplasie, Orton King, het ook sy opwinding met Standard <\/i>gedeel.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns sien baie uit na hierdie projek en glo dit sal ook nog meer voete lok na Kleinplasie. Dit, gekoppel met wat ons reeds bied, kan net dui op \u2019n suksesverhaal. Dit spreek \u2019n groot nood in ons gemeenskap aan en sluit veral aan by ons mandaat om ons gemeenskappe op te hef.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy het ook verduidelik dat Sandy\u2019s Eden nou \u2019n vierjaarkontrak het om die geboue teen geen koste te kan huur en dat dit op dieselfde voorwaardes hernu sal word as die tydperk verstryk het.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns huidige ruimte in Worcester is baie klein, maar ons het al baie vermag. Ons sien uit na wat ons nou gaan regkry sodra ons op die been is,\u201d vertel Everson.<\/p>\n
Die geboue is tans in \u2019n haglike toestand en opknappingswerk word nou van stapel gestuur. Hulle beoog om in Augustus vanjaar hul deure oop te maak.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaar is baie wat gedoen moet word en ons gaan dit reg doen. Ons het wonderlike ondersteuners en wil ook soveel besighede moontlik by die projek betrek. <\/p>\n
\u201cOns deure gaan oopstaan vir die publiek en ons weet hierdie sal die krisis in die gebied help oplos.\u201d<\/p>\n
Everson en haar span gaan ook hande vat met verskeie provinsiale en nasionale organisasies wat gaan omsien na die diere se welstand.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns planne is eindeloos. Daar is baie wat gedoen moet word, maar ons is gereed. Ek is dankbaar vir mense soos Annelize Orton, Clayton de Villiers, dr. Christo van Dyk en sy vrou, Emma, wat ons bystaan. Met hul hulp en die gemeenskap se hulp gaan ons \u2019n sukses maak hiervan,\u201d voeg Everson by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
