Worcesteriete wat koppe bymekaar\u00adgesit het om haweloosheid in die dorp aan te pak, is optimisties dat \u2019n belowende nuwe plan begin vorm aanneem.<\/p>\n
Die Meer As Haweloosheid-inisiatief betrek reeds meer as 40 individue en instansies wat bereid is om by te dra tot \u2019n omvattende maatskaplike program vir hawelose mense in Worcester. Dit sluit selfs geboue in wat moontlik deur Transnet beskikbaar gestel sal word vanwaar die program bedryf kan word.<\/p>\n
\u201cVir die eerste keer het ons die kerk, staat, besighede en die gemeenskap se inkoop. Daar is \u2019n ontploffing van energie,\u201d s\u00ea ds. Andri Eloff, een van die sameroepers van die inisiatief. Hy is opgewonde oor \u2019n program wat geen bestaande organisasie se werk wil \u201coorneem\u201d of organisasies laat kompeteer nie, maar eerder almal se sterkpunte saamtrek in \u2019n gesamentlike oplossing.<\/p>\n
Dit skop vandeesmaand af met \u2019n navorsingspan wat \u2019n volledige opname van hawelose inwoners en hul behoeftes begin. Daarna sal \u2019n maatskaplike werker vir elkeen wat aan die program deelneem, \u2019n onafhanklike ontwikkelingsplan opstel.<\/p>\n
Daardeur sal hulle toegang kry tot berading en arbeidsterapie, geestelike bediening, vaardigheidsontwikkeling en die bystand van hul toegedeelde maatskaplike werker wat die pad van assessering tot by herintegrasie met elke individu kan stap.<\/p>\n
Vir \u2019n dak oor die kop terwyl hulle die program voltooi, sal hawelose inwoners hopelik binnekort ook toegang h\u00ea tot \u2019n oornagskuiling met eet-, stort- en slaapgeriewe, wat vir vasgestelde ure oornag oop sal wees.<\/p>\n
Eloff en sy kollegas, met die ondersteuning van die Worcester Sakeverbeteringsdistrik (WBID), voer reeds onderhandelings met Transnet vir geboue waar hierdie skuiling gevestig kan word, asook \u2019n dagsentrum van waar die dienste van die Meer As-program gelewer kan word. Hier sal kundiges en vrywilligers van die betrokke organisasies om die beurt diens doen. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit gaan oor \u2019n beter manier van help,\u201d s\u00ea Eloff. \u201cHier is reeds baie mense wat noodverligting doen, maar as jy \u2019n verhouding bou met mense, kan jy met hulle \u2019n pad van rehabilitasie, ontwikkeling en herintegrasie stap.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eloff s\u00ea die ko\u00f6rdineerders w\u00e9\u00e9t dat almal nie aan die einde van die program in \u2019n werk sal instap nie, maar hulle wil elke mens help ontwikkel tot die beste van hul eie vermo\u00eb en aspirasies.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie hele program word gebou op liefde en deernis vir alle mense, ongeag sy of haar omstandighede. Ons wil hierdeur mense help met die herstel van goeie verhoudings met self, met ander mense, met God en met die omgewing en kreatiwiteit,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
Worcesteriete sal kan help<\/strong> <\/p>\n Eloff s\u00ea die welwillendheid en goeie energie wat nou rondom Meer As heers, maak hom opgewonde en hy moedig die res van Worcester aan om die projek ewe entoesiasties te ondersteun.<\/p>\n Een manier sal na verwagting wees deur Worcester BIDcoin te koop. Dit is koepons wat by deelnemende kerkkantore beskikbaar sal wees en sal in plaas van geld aan hawelose mense gegee kan word om hulle dan toegang tot die program te gee.<\/p>\n Eloff en sy kollegas glo haweloosheid is \u2019n simptoom van \u2019n samelewing wat met reuseprobleme worstel wat geld nie kan regmaak nie. Dit is waarom hulle oortuig is van \u2019n baie meer holistiese oplossing. \u201cOns wil mense innooi en r\u00e1\u00e1ksien. Ons moet verhoudings bou ter wille van die menswaardigheid van alle mense. As ons nie die grens kan oorsteek na \u2019n ander ou se w\u00eareld nie, gaan ons vir altyd simptome behandel.<\/p>\n Die groot droom is dat hierdie model soveel vrugte vir hawelose mense \u00e9n die plaaslike gemeenskap sal afwerp, dat dit na ander dele van die land sal uitkring. Maar, intussen glo Eloff die gemeenskap moet eerstens by homself begin. <\/p>\n \u201cAlles wat ons nodig het, is reeds hier. Worcester moet Worcester gesond kry. Daar \u00eds oplossings vir haweloosheid.\u201d<\/p>\n Mense wat graag \u2019n bydrae tot Meer As Haweloosheid wil maak, kan ds. Andri Eloff by 083 654 3939 bel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Worcesteriete wat koppe bymekaar\u00adgesit het om haweloosheid in die dorp aan te pak, is optimisties dat \u2019n
