‘N jaar in oorsig
Die eerste ding wat by my opgekom het toe ek gevra is om die afgelope boekjaar in oënskou te neem, is die feit dat Abraham Kriel Bambanani sy roeping kon uitleef om kinders en jongmense wat sorg nodig het te beskerm, te versorg en te ontwikkel. Dit is werklik ‘n voorreg om te kan dien, ten spyte van uitdagings en onsekerhede.
ANSWERING THE CALL FOR 35 YEARS
“To be in service of a calling, is special. Not many people have the opportunity to live their life purpose through their daily work. I experience that privilege through my career at Abraham Kriel Bambanani and that is a blessing.”
GEROEP VIR 35 JAAR
“Om in diens te staan van jou roeping, is spesiaal. Nie baie mense het die voorreg om hulle roeping elke dag in hulle werksplek uit te leef nie. As hoof van Abraham Kriel Bambanani is ek bevoorreg om elke dag my passie en roeping uit te leef.
Wat ‘n seëning”.
A year in review
The first thing that came to my mind when asked to take the past financial year in review, is the fact that Abraham Kriel Bambanani was able to continue living its calling to protect, care for and develop children and young people in need of care. It is truly a privilege to have been able to serve, despite challenges and uncertainties.
