Loading player...
In hierdie episode van Community Matters (Gemeenskap Sake) op Radio Cape Pulpit gesels aanbieder Fanie Eddison met Dr. Jan Oberholzer, leraar van die NG Gemeente Della Bat in Kaapstad, oor die uitdagings en behoeftes van dowe en gehoorgestremde mense in die Wes-Kaap en wyer Suid-Afrika. Dr. Oberholzer deel sy persoonlike reis – van ‘n ouma wat doof was tot sy bediening in die dowe gemeenskap – en beklemtoon die belangrikheid van kulturele doofheid, gebarretaal as moedertaal, en selfverteenwoordiging. Hy bespreek die groot behoefte aan inklusiewe eredienste, die isolasie wat dowe mense ervaar, selfs binne gesinsverbande, en die gaping in kommunikasie met mediese personeel en kerke. Die program doen ‘n beroep op die hoorende gemeenskap om netwerke te bou, tegnologie soos visuele boodskappe en WhatsApp in te span, en saam te werk met bestaande strukture soos Della Bat om dowe mense te bereik en te bedien. Dr. Oberholzer deel ook sy kontakbesonderhede vir verdere navrae en samewerking.
