FOREWORD Friends of NID The founding vision of the first four leaders of the National Institute for the Deaf has come to fruition in its 135th year, 2016. These leaders’ vision was to serve the Deaf from the cradle to the grave spiritually and through education, development, career training so that they could live independently and also to care for the aged. We are immensely grateful to our Heavenly Father for the grace to make this vision and services sustainable. Without dedicated staff and NID’s loyal supporters, it would not be possible. We HONOUR the hard work, passion and faith of every NID staff member the past year and decades. Read further in the Annual Report how the 135 years of commitment became a reality.

• SUCCESS STORY

TRAIN

Reuben Peter Wuni (Deaf) arrived in Worcester in March 2015. He is the only Deaf evangelist in the Church of the Pentecost in Ghana where he has already established five congregations for the Deaf. He couldn’t receive theological training anywhere else in Africa. His church covers all costs for his studies, because they know the Deaf can only be effectively ministered to by other Deaf. Nine months later a new Reuben returned to Ghana. He had not only gained knowledge, but showed personal growth to such an extent that the church decided that he should return for another year. Their words were: “DCMA is the best – even better than colleges in America! DCMA has changed Reuben’s life.”

Danielia started working as a waitress at the Tea Garden in July 2014. She completed her schooling at Nuwe Hoop Centre for the Hearing Impaired in 1998 and and since then had only been able to find piece jobs at factories and farms. When she first started working at NID, she was shy and reserved but soon found her feet and is now a pillar in the restaurant, guest house and in the kitchen. In August 2015, we started training her in the kitchen as an assistant cook. She accepted the challenge with poise and is faring well. Niella, as we call her, is a very reliable, friendly and helpful employee. She says she loves her job, gets along well along with everyone, and has learned a lot since she joined the NID.

Care: MULTI-DISABLED Adults Adult Care’s programmes are based on 30 main activities. Paired with the implementation of these activities is a wealth of information, knowledge, advice, exchange training and skills. Interaction takes place between 75 Deaf adults with multiple disabilities and 39 staff. With all these actions, there were challenges, but also great highlights of remarkable achievements and milestones.

A major challenge remains convincing people to believe in investing in the human dignity of these special people. If ordinary people can understand why a Deaf person with multiple disabilities is so special and that he / she must, beyond any doubt, be part of our plans for future – then this is the reason why we are here . . .

TO SERVE A SPECIAL GROUP OF PEOPLE! The experience of positive behavioural changes in a mentally challenged person is an emotional highpoint erupting in inner explosions of excitement.

IVY MADUMANE

RIANNE PRETORIUS

Ivy is a 24 year-old Deaf woman from Zwelethemba who joined NID Adult Care in 2012. Over the past 4 years, Ivy has proved to be a strong young woman who acquires new skills quickly. Through our intervention she has gained valuable experience in various workplaces, including Glassfit and NID Laundry. She is currently work-

ing at NID Tea Garden and Guest House as a general worker. Ivy entered motherhood in 2015 and carries out her new role as a working mom with grace! It is remarkable how Ivy, with adequate guidance and support, has blossomed into an independent and assertive lady who maintains a meaningful, valuable and contributive lifestyle.

It is a wonderful feeling to see a young lady who is Deaf with intellectual challenges, develop and take her place in society! Rianne (27) has been a resident of NID Adult Care since 2011. Initially she learned to make ceramics and sewing products in our protective workshops. She showed that she was potentially capable of more and was placed as a general

worker in the division’s kitchen. In 2014, she joined a NID-driven training project which offered practical training in laundry services. After completing the project, she was placed as a domestic worker at a private residence in the open labour market. We believe that with adequate guidance and love, great things are in store for Rianne.

Fyta is a 52 year old woman who participated in the daycare pogramme at our protected ­ ­workshops for many years. Here she gained experience in different skill areas. She also received support from our medical staff for a serious medical condition. This helped her maintain a healthier lifestyle, but environmental conditions at home,

however, hampered her health. In 2013 Fyta was admitted as a resident and could benefit fully from the residential care programme and services. Since then her health has flourished and the positive changes also spread to other ­areas of her life. Fyta now works at NID Laundry and is an asset in the work she performs.

NID Elderly Care experienced several highlights and ­challenges for 2015 – the greatest of which was certainly the ­restructuring of the NID Care department. Several adjustments have been made within the department to address sustainability and better utilise existing resources to achieve further savings. Our focus remains the delivery of quality services in a ­homely environment to all beneficiaries despite financial pressure and the challenges residents present, especially those with special needs. The Elderly Care division would like to thank every organisation and individual who have continuously supported us through donations of goods as well as all volunteers and friends of Rusoord (Bellville) and Shalom (Worcester) who have made a difference by visiting our facilities.

THANK YOU TO OUR REGULAR DONORS: Bokomo, Albany Bakeries, EPM, EasiGas, Woolworths, Spar Kuilsrivier, Spar Western Cape, Supa Oils, Coram Deo Congregation, Tygerberg Rotary, Malan & Heloise Hugo, SAPS Bellville, ER24, M-Kem Pharmacy, De la Bat Congregation (Worcester), Elma, Hester, Susan Conradie and team.

“I have been living in Shalom for three years. My family visits me regularly and brings me treats. Living here is pleasant because I have many friends and enjoy chatting with everyone. I have learned not to get angry if someone speaks ill of me. It’s very convenient here because I can go anywhere I want to with my wheelchair. There are always people who bring us yummy things to eat.” – Danie Uys (65 years - Deaf)

“I’ve been living in Rusoord since 2011 and I am very glad to be able to share a room with my fellow Deaf friends. I couldn’t yet visit my family and they have not yet come to visit me in all these years. I am very happy at Rusoord because they take care of me and the staff gives me attention and love. The Rusoord staff and residents are like my own family now. I don’t know what I would have done if there wasn’t a place like Rusoord.” – Winston Robinson (Resident of Rusoord)

“My wife and I moved to Shalom at the beginning of 2014. She died a month ­ later. The people at Shalom ­supported me greatly and helped me ­tremendously through that difficult time. Something that I have learned here is: ‘Patience is the mother of w ­ isdom’. Here you have to be very patient. I am grateful to be able to live here where everyone cares about each other.” – Johan van Eck (83 years - Hearing Loss)

“I am a member of the DR Church Worcester De la Bat. My first encounter with the church won’t be labelled “first class”. Firstly, I was Deaf. Secondly, I had absolutely no knowledge of Sign Language. Thirdly, I was a stranger. I only knew one person in the entire congregation until meeting the reverend – then it was two people! “I didn’t know much more after the service than going into it. Reverend preached with his voice and signs. I was too Deaf to hear and too dumb to understand his signs. I was heartbroken. I wanted to come to church, but couldn’t understand anything. After church, many came to make my acquaintance. I was surprised. Why was everyone so friendly? I had assumed they would be walking around with long faces in silence because they

“We have services every Sunday, which are well attended. Just like other congregations, we have prayer week and Pentecost services. We also have annual thanksgiving. Other hearing congregations in the ring support us because our congregation has few Deaf adults. The congregation consists of learners from the De la Bat School, students from Africa (NID Training), DCMA students who are training to become Deaf pastors and ministers. We are proud to say that we have already sent 13 graduates into the world. “Another part of our congregation is Lewensruimte for Deaf Adults. This unit has protected workshops where Deaf persons with one or more disabilities can be productive. We also have a Home for the aged. “This is why I am a proud member of Worcester De la Bat today, because . . . We are God’s family and our language is LOVE!”

SPESIALE VERMELDING With cerebral palsy, Morné resumed his schooling in 2013 graduating in a bridging class. He is placed in Grade 4 for Afrikaans and Mathematics. Other subjects are systematically incorporated for full participation in Grade 5. He finds it difficult to carry his bag, laptop and other necessities, but a wheeled bag helps to keep everything together. Writing and taking notes is difficult. A laptop makes these tasks easier. An assistant helps with typing in tests and examinations. Muscle control development is increasingly improving. His confidence and functioning are also progressing very well.

Ciara van Rooyen –- grade 1

Ciara is Deaf and one in 500,000 people born with a rare skin condition, Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) or “butterfly disease”. She has only two layers of skin instead of seven. Her skin is very fragile and the slightest touch causes blisters and infection. She also has internal blisters that make eating and swallowing difficult. The pencil grip causes friction and bruising. A typing programme and computer support her literacy. A pram and little wheel chair avoid blisters on her feet. Without elevator facilities, staff have to carry her up the stairs daily. She is a gifted little fighter and overcomes obstacles with Sign Language.

The congregation is a home that, with the cooperation of other role-players, helps toddlers, youth, working adults, ­elderly and persons with disabilities from all communities in South Africa to live in close relationship with the Lord. Deaf persons from diverse language and culture groups (from South Africa and Africa) receive, encounter and build relationships in such a way that they will each be equipped to live as a blessing from God.

For every challenge faced in the 2015-2016 financial year – the past 135 years – there have been quite a few opportunities, highlights and miracles. The requirements of fundraising are not up everyone’s alley, especially when the services of an organisation are as diversified as NID’s. As such, we are in the process of building a team of specialists for the future, but are understaffed at times. Nonetheless, our dedicated staff are undeterred. On the contrary, with limited resources and manpower, the team delivered 40,13% growth in comparison to the previous year. For this we are unspeakably grateful towards our loyal donors as well as those who gave for the first time in 2015-2016, and our Heavenly Father as our Provider. Without the generous support of individuals, companies of varying sizes, the church sector, schools, trusts and foundations, we would not have been able to show any growth at all. Without our friends and partners we would not be able to deliver training, care and support services to improve the quality of life for persons with hearing loss. We salute each of our partners in the work we do together.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS MADE A CONTRIBUTION! “The FW de Klerk Foundation supports selected organisations that provide lifechanging assistance and support to children and young people living with disabilities. The National Institute for the Deaf (NID) is one such organisation. They have an excellent track record in empowering and educating young Deaf people, as attested to by the detailed proposals and feedback reports provided throughout the course of our longstanding partnership. We hope to continue to support the NID in their efforts to ensure that Deaf people are empowered to participate as fully as possible in all facets of our society and that they are able to enjoy in practice all the rights that the Constitution guarantees.” – Megan Dick, FW de Klerk Foundation

A hero is someone who takes ­a ction, someone who gives of himself for the sake of others. Our heroes are our donors, who make the difficult possible.

“I believe that it is very important to help people in need and I always try to make a lasting difference in someone’s life. Running is my passion and I decided that it was time to use my passion to help others. Family, friends and colleagues opened their hearts and wallets in support of my project. With their support, I not only reached my own personal goal, I also realised how rewarding it is to make a difference in ­someone else’s life. It was an absolute privilege to be part of the *OMTOM Run for the Deaf project. Remember, life is so short, don’t miss your chance to make a difference. Find your passion, get involved and make a difference!” – Lehandrie Freeman, NID Run for the Deaf participant.

“Companies like us should give back to the community. Funding from govern ment and other organisations is waning because the needs they must supply in are increasing. If companies stand together to help NID, then we will be assured that the hearing impaired community will be prepared for the workplace and well cared for when they retire. NID is unique in the sense that they educate, train and care for all ages. The professionalism and enthusiasm with which the NID staff undertake this task is contagious. We have no choice but to support such an organisation. NID is also located in our town and that makes interaction much easier. The world of disability is not easy. It is continuously improving through technology, but there are still many hurdles to “normal” functioning in the work environment.” – Jacques Matthee, APL Cartons (Pty) Ltd
