Hoërskool Driehoek

Collaborative sadness, support and prayers towards your Healing.

Driving in my car, passing bystanders, robots, skyscrapers on my way to work, the feeling of sadness starts bubbling up.  The reason for this emotion is clear.  We as a country has lost four of our own.  Young children with their lives ahead of them, each endowed with a Spirit, personality and characteristics which made them unique, one of a kind and dearly loved.

Grandchildren, children to their parents, dear friends, bright scholars and four South African Children.  For each of the Hoërskool Driehoek scholars whom has passed away, the injured scholars fighting new battles, principle, teachers, scholars, parents and families.  This is dedicated to you!

The sadness starts with a shiver “goosies as our teenagers will call it” shortly followed by tears.  The tears that well up in my eyes bring the realisation of what it means to be human.  In an unexpected life-changing moment were a collapse of a structure has occured, every eye opens to how precious life is.  A gift to be nurtured and appreciated to the full.

In the loss you feel, we feel with you.  “It takes a community to raise a child”.  We are your community and we will break down the barriers of invisible borders in the form of province, age, gender, race, culture and we will stand with you.

The name “Driehoek” triangle is so vivid in its symbology.  A triangle can symbolise the past, present and future; although your present suffering reaches an unbearable intensity, may your future hold the stability as symbolised also by the triangle.  A stability and hope that can only be found in the triangle of the Trinity.

As a NPO we wake up daily with one goal and that is to improve the lives of scholars across South Africa by inspiring an abundance of literacy “reading and writing fluency”.  In reading this blog, uplifting books and comforting messages may you find healing.  In writing, will you please put pen to paper and journal.  Write out the confusion, feelings, hurt, uncertainty…even anger.  Put your emotions into letters and let this be part of your Healing.

We send you love, strength and with the hope to meet you personally.

Warm regards,
