Die "Neverending" Jack-verhaal

Gansbaai Courant

Vele is al oor Jack en Anita Doyle van Chester Le Street, Engeland geskryf. Sy intense betrokkenheid en finansiële ondersteuning met buitelandse fondsinsamelingsprojekte by Gansbaai Primêr, Masakhane Primary School, Silwerjare Dienssentrum en Oak Grove Nasorgsentrum spreek boekdele.

Jack en Anita besoek Gansbaai jaarliks vanaf Januarie/Februarie tot April en hulle beskou dit as hulle gunsteling vakansieplek. Enkele jare gelede het hulle vir Steve en Margi Muller by Gansbaai Gholfklub ontmoet en hulle oor omstandighede hier uitgevra. Hulle het die egpaar aan verskeie instansies bekendgestel en sedertdien het hy die een oorsese fondsinsamelingsprojek na die ander gereël.Hierdie keer het hy met die Rotariërs van Derwentside in Engeland vir befondsing gereël om ‘n magdom van skryfbehoeftes vir Masakhane Primary School aan te koop.

Laat Jack self verder vertel: “Following a visit to Masakhane Primary School organised by Steve and Margi Muller in 2014, myself and Anita, my wife, agreed to help raise much needed funds to supply starter educational packs for first year learners, as well as providing other materials. The Rotary Club of Derwentside in England contacted the Rotary Club of Stanford and asked if they would be our partners and used their expertise in purchasing what was required. Money was transferred from England and the school received the supplies on February 4th. The materials were delivered by Malcolm Bury, President of the Stanford Rotary Club and myself and Anita from the Rotary Club of Derwentside. We have been involved in a number of projects in recent years, which has only been possible through the involvement of Steve and Margi introducing us to the many needs of groups in the local communities.”

Die waarde van die skryfbenodigdhede wat oorhandig is, beloop sowat R16,000, bestaande uit groot hoeveelhede fotostaatpapier, penne, potlode, kleurpotlode en -kryt, skryfboekies en veel meer. Intussen het Jack laat deurskemer dat hy nou op die Elim Huis in Gansbaai wil fokus, maar met die samewerking van die Bestuur in Elim.
