Weldoeners is mense met \u2019n passie vir hul gemeen\u00adskap en is oral om ons, maar baie min kan dit regkry om hul gemeen\u00adskap op te hef soos Daphn\u00e9 Oliphant (49) van Roodewal, wat dit al meer as twee dekades lank doen.<\/p>\n
Daphn\u00e9, \u2019n boorling van Worcester, woon haar lewe lank in die gemeenskap van Roodewal en het op 25-jarige ouderdom besluit haar lewenspad moet anders lyk as di\u00e9 van haar tydgenote.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het nog altyd die droom gehad om \u2019n modeontwerper te word. Ek het as jong meisie net soos ander my jongmenslewe geniet, maar toe ek 25 jaar oud word, het ek besluit ek moet iets doen om die mense, veral die jeug, in my gemeenskap te help en by te staan,\u201d vertel sy aan Standard<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Daphn\u00e9 het toe vanuit \u2019n klein en beskeie huisie in die buurt die House of Mercy gestig waar kinders in die middae gaan om te leer en sommiges sommer oorbly en na omgesien word.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaar was \u2019n groot behoefte in ons omgewing om \u2019n soort skuiling te skep waar kinders kan leer, iets te ete kry en sommiges wat uit moeilike omstandighede kom, na omgesien kan word en oornag kan bly. Ek het die plek geskep en so \u2019n paar jaar later het ek en my man \u2019n huis gekoop wat ons kon omskep in \u2019n plek van leer, \u2019n plek om met jou hande te werk en \u2019n plek waar elkeen kon tuis voel. Ons is baie dankbaar daarvoor,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n
Daphn\u00e9 het op \u2019n dag besluit om \u2019n jeugkoor te stig en het by die kerk met haar koor gaan optree. \u2019n Vrou het haar passie raakgesien en haar oortuig om vir Clover se weldoenersprojek, Clover Mama Afrika, in te skryf. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk was eers skepties en het nie gedink ons kan so iets vermag nie. Ek het in elk geval ingeskryf en gehoop en gebid dinge sal vir ons uitwerk \u2013 sodat ons raakgesien kan word, dat ons nog hulp kon inwin en dat ons nog mense kon bystaan en help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy het toe op \u2019n dag \u2019n oproep van prof. Elain Vlok, \u2019n professor in kommunikasiekunde en die stigter van Clover se Mama Afrika-projek, ontvang.<\/p>\n
\u201cSy het my ingelig dat ek gekeur is en ek was uit my vel van opgewondenheid oor die geleentheid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clover Mama Afrika help vroue wat skuilings en veilige hawes vir ander in hul gemeenskap geskep en \u2019n morele noodsaaklikheid aangevoel het en net iets \u2013 enigiets \u2013 vir ander sal doen. <\/p>\n
Hierdie vroue deel almal \u2019n liefde vir hul gemeenskap en wil altyd dit wat gebroke is, herstel of \u2019n omgewing skep waar ander bygestaan kan word. <\/p>\n
Hierdie ongelooflike vroue het al \u2019n verskil in die lewe van diegene rondom hulle gemaak, ondanks die probleme waarmee hulle self soms te kampe het. Hierdie projek bied hulle opleiding en die nodige hulpbronne om van al hul projekte \u2019n sukses te maak. Op hul beurt dra hulle hul vaardighede aan die gemeenskappe oor, wat \u2019n rimpeleffek van werksgeleenthede en volhoubaarheid oor die land heen skep.<\/p>\n
Tans is Daphn\u00e9 een van amper 30 aktiewe vroue in die land wat terugploeg en help waar hulle kan.<\/p>\n
Toe sy net minder as twee dekades gelede by hierdie groep formidabele vroue aangesluit het, het sy nooit gedink sy sou soveel vermag nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is \u2019n wonderlike ervaring. Dit is die hoogtepunt van wat ek doen en dit is fantasties om deel te kan wees van hierdie groep en soveel leiding van wonderlike mense soos prof. Vlok te ontvang. Ons het al talle naaldwerkkursusse, bakkursusse en enigiets wat ons kan opbou en toerus om ons gemeenskap weer te kan ondersteun, aangebied.\u201d<\/p>\n
Die kursusse word deur Clover gere\u00ebl om hierdie vroue te bemagtig om op hul beurt ander in hul omgewing op te lei.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is en bly \u2019n voorreg om te kan doen wat ek doen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy het nog baie planne en drome wat sy wil naspoor en fokus nou om ander by te staan en op te hef.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
