Ngifisa ukwabelana nawe ngendaba yomuntu siqu emayelana nothando nokuzibophezela, indaba yengane yaseMoldova eyashintsha impilo yami unomphela.
Ngo-February 1998, ngangivakashela amakhaya ezintandane nemikhaya yokutholwa eChisinau, eMoldova. Ngolunye usuku olubanda kakhulu kuneqhwa, njengoba ngihamba edolobheni, intombazane encane yeza kimi icela imali - akuyona into engavamile kuleli zwe elikhungethwe ubumpofu.
Yangimangaza indlela le ngane eyayimncane ngayo. Wayeneminyaka engu-13 ubudala, engasemusha, eyedwa emigwaqweni ezinakekela.
Ngathola ngomhumushi ukuthi le ntombazane esencane, u-Ana, yayihlala emzini owonakele nabazali ababili ababewumlutha wotshwala ababengamnakanga yona nodadewabo abathathu nomfowabo. Wayeswela, egodola futhi elambile. Iqiniso elibuhlungu kakhulu, iqiniso ngafunga ukuthi ngizolishintsha.
Ngo-1999, ngemva konyaka ngithole ithuba lokuhlangana no-Ana ngalolo suku lwasebusika olubandayo eChisinau, sasungula iChildren's Emergency Relief International (CERI). Ngixhase le ntombazanyana, ngayibeka ekhaya lokutholwa i-CERI elimnike indawo efudumele nenothando , kanye nethuba lokuya esikoleni. Ngabe sengibuka u-Ana echuma!
Ngempilo entsha phambi kwakhe kanye nokuphathwa kwecala okuhlinzekwa yi-CERI, u-Ana waphumelela kakhulu ezifundweni zakhe, ethatha izifundo ezazizomnika amakhono ayewadinga ukuze athole umsebenzi futhi azenzele impilo eyedwa. Ngisaxhumana no-Ana, futhi namuhla ngiyaziqhenya ukubika ukuthi ungowesifazane ofundile, ozimele, osebenza futhi ozimele, oshadile futhi okhulisa izingane zakhe ezimbili.
Sibonga i-CERI, le ngane kaNkulunkulu yasindiswa ekushushumbisweni kwabantu, ekuxhashazweni, nempilo engenalo uthando nokuzinza - izinto okungekho ngane okufanele zihlangabezane nazo.
Kimina kwakuyi-investimenti engcono kakhulu engangingayenza, ukutshala enganeni encane impilo yayo izoshintshwa unomphela. Ngibe nokuhlonishwa nelungelo lokukhonza le nhlangano evelele amashumi eminyaka, inhlangano umsebenzi wayo ungomunye wenhliziyo yami ngempela.
Ungayiguqula impilo yengane futhi. Izingane ze-CERI ziyanidinga - nonke. Ukusekela kwakho kuzoletha injabulo ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi bamamatheke ebusweni babo. Bazokwazi ukuthi ababodwa. Bazokwazi ukuthi kukhona obakhathalelayo, umuntu onenhliziyo ephanayo nomoya okhathalelayo.
I-CERI ikhule emashumini eminyaka kusukela yasungulwa ukuze isebenzele izingane emazweni emhlabeni jikelele. U-Ana wayeyisiqalo sento enkulu, into ezoqhubeka ingaphakamisi isizukulwane sakhe kuphela kodwa nezinye eziningi ezizayo.
