EERSTERIVIER EN BLUE DOWNS: KERK WIL LIEFDEVOLLE OMGEWING SKEP

AGS-huis vir jonges AVRIL FILLIES

lke kind wil in ’n liefdevolle huis met ’n ma en pa grootword, maar dis nie vir almal beskore nie. Baie kinders in die Eersterivier- en Blue Downs-omgewing ken dit nie, want in die meeste gevalle is een of albei ouers afwesig. Daarom het die Apostoliese Geloofsendingkerk in Eersterivier nou ook sy eie kinderhuis – een van 32 geregistreerde AGSkinderhuise in die land – begin, wat deur die kerk bestuur word. “Hier is baie kinders in ons area wat nie weet wat dit is om in ’n liefdevolle huisopset op te groei nie, want baie is enkelouers se kinders, of word deur grootouers grootgemaak. In ons kinderhuis is daar tussen drie tot agt kinders, wat deur ’n huismoeder en

-vader vertroetel en versorg word. Ons hou dit klein sodat die huisouers alles maklik kan hanteer,” het Susan de Villiers, vrouepastoor by die AGS in Eersterivier, gesê. Die kinderhuis is deur die welsynsdepartement van die AGS-kerk van Suid-Afrika begin met die doel om die kinders ’n gevoel van ’n gesinswoning te laat ervaar. “Die huisouers ontvang gereeld opleiding om die kinders net die beste te gee. Die predikante van ons kerk kom hier tot die huisouers se redding. Hulle gee raad aan die huisouers en indien van die kinders swak in hul skoolwerk vaar, word hulp gereël om die kinders te help met die vakke waarin hulle nie so goed presteer nie. “Soos in enige huis, is daar klein jakkalsies wat dinge bietjie deurmekaar kan krap, en ons (die kerk) probeer om die probleme

saam met die huisouers oplos,” het De Villiers gesê. Volgens haar neem die gemeente of die selgroepe graag die kinders uit op uitstappies en nooi hulle hul na partytjies, maar gemeentelede loer ook by dié huis in met ’n lekkerny of twee. “Tans oorweeg ons nie nog ’n kinderhuis in die omgewing nie, want soos in enige ander huishouding is daar geldelike uitgawes. “Ons het altyd geldelike ondersteuning nodig, en baie van die gemeentelede en van ons borge vat hier ons hand. “Belangstellendes wat skenkings wil maak, is welkom om die kerk te besoek met hul bydraes,” het sy gesê. Die vroue van die kerk is ook by baie ander projekte in Blue Downs en omgewing betrokke. V Na bladsy 2.

#We♥Tyger is back with Bags of Hope There are so many phenomenal women with whom we share our daily lives – our mothers, wives, children, neighbours, best friends – most of them anchors who help steer our lives with steadfast care and love. With August being Women’s Month, we at TygerBurger and our sister publications (People’s Post and City Vision) wish to honour the women in our lives by honouring those women who have experienced and beaten the worst of life’s hardships and ills, emerging as survivors, proud and dignified. Please help us to help restore a little of this dignity as we once again embark on a special monthly campaign by providing Bags of Hope – literally, handbags filled with all the essentials a rape or abuse survivor might need. Two years ago the Chill Room in our offices was filled to the brim with these Bags of Hope, which contained everything from bras and panties to sanitary pads, perfume and talc, washcloths and soap, toothpaste and chocolates. In some cases, the bags contained a handwritten note wishing the receiver well on her journey to recovery and a life outside of abuse and violence. We are hoping to recreate this female pantry and be able to donate all the items we receive to a charity of our readers’ choosing. For this, we are once more calling for help from our loyal readers – those caring people who have supported our monthly campaigns so faithfully since the beginning of the year. So, if you have a handbag or two and the means to fill it with what you would have appreciated were you a recipient yourself, please bring it to our offices. We will ensure it goes to a place where it will bring light and joy amid pain and suffering. V Donate, and nominate your charity at briewe@tyg­ erburger.co.za. V Delivery is on the third floor of the Bloemhof Build­ ing at 112 Edward Street, and at Vangate Mall.
