Umphakathi wethu: Isikhungo Sokusekelwa Kwababaleki
Umvoti ohamba phambili emkhankasweni wethu Wezinsuku Eziyi-12 Zomusa usiza abantu abeza emphakathini wethu bevela emhlabeni wonke.
Lapho sethula umkhankaso wethu Wezinsuku Eziyi-12 Zomusa, ithimba lethu lesitolo sase-Cole Park lakhetha i-Refugee Support Center, i-ejensi ebambisene ne-Chapel Hill Tire. Le nhlangano yamavolontiya, eyasungulwa ngo-2012, isiza ababaleki ekushintsheni impilo entsha emphakathini wethu. Inikeza inhlobonhlobo yezinsizakalo, ukufinyelela okungcono ezinsizeni, nokuqeqeshwa emakhonweni okuzimela, Isikhungo siyisibonelo esihle sokuthi kusho ukuthini ukusabalalisa umusa kanye nempilo enhle.
Itholakala eCarrborough, eNorth Carolina, lesi Sikhungo sisebenzela abantu ababalelwa ku-900 ngonyaka, iningi labo eliphuma eSyria, eBurma naseDemocratic Republic of the Congo. Bebalekela ukushushiswa, ubudlova nempi, bafakwa ezikhungweni zokuhlaliswa kabusha ezinezivumelwano zokubambisana noMnyango Wezwe ngokushesha nje lapho befika e-United States. Lezi zikhungo zihlinzeka ngezinsizakalo zokwamukela kanye nendawo yokuhlala; nokho bayayeka ngemva kwezinyanga ezintathu.
Bese kuthi iSikhungo Sokusekela Ababaleki siyangenela, sinikeze usizo njengoba kudingeka. Ngaphezu kokusiza ababaleki ukuba baphile impilo entsha, Isikhungo sivikela izidingo zabo kanye nezithakazelo zabo, sibasize ukuba balondoloze ubunikazi babo bamasiko nobuzwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, Isikhungo sisebenza njengesisetshenziswa sokufundisa somphakathi, esiza ukuqonda kangcono omakhelwane bethu abasha.
Ngesenzo salo somusa, ithimba laseCole Park lahamba liyolanda igilosa yabahlali baseSikhungweni. Kodwa lokho kwakuseyisiqalo nje. Ngemizamo yamavolontiya eSikhungo kanye nethimba lethu lase-Cole Park, Isikhungo sithole amavoti acishe abe ngu-5,000 emqhudelwaneni wethu Wezinsuku Eziyi-12 Zomusa, sazuza umnikelo ka-$3,000 ovela ku-Chapel Hill Tire.
“Sikuzulu wesikhombisa sinqoba indawo yokuqala kuhlelo lwe12 Days of Kindness eChapel Hill,” kutsho uMqondisi weCenter uFlicka Bateman. “Isenti ngalinye lemali yomklomelo lizosetshenziselwa ukusiza ababaleki emphakathini wethu. Siyabonga kubasekeli bethu ngokusivotela, abangani bethu abangababaleki ngokusikhuthaza nsuku zonke, kanye neChapel Hill Tire ngokusingatha umncintiswano nokusikhuthaza sonke ukuba senze imisebenzi emihle.”
Siyaziqhenya ngokusekela Isikhungo Sokusekela Ababaleki futhi sihlanganyele umgomo wabo wokusiza ababaleki bendawo bashintshele empilweni entsha. Sicela uvakashele iwebhusayithi Yesikhungo ukuze ufunde kabanzi noma ube ivolontiya.
Sithanda ukuzwakalisa ukubonga kwethu kubo bonke ababambiqhaza bezinsuku eziyi-12 zikaKhisimusi. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wenze isenzo somusa, uvotele ukuthi iyiphi inhlangano esiza abantulayo ekuthinte kakhulu, noma wabelane ngenjabulo eyengeziwe ngalesi sikhathi samaholide, sibonga ngempela. Singena ku-2021 ngomqondo omuhle womphakathi nokwazisa!
