Imboni yezokuvakasha izinhlangano ezisiza abantulayo ngamanzi ahlanzekile i-Just a Drop yethula i-Just Help Haiti

Inhlangano esiza abantulayo ngamanzi ahlanzekile, i-Just a Drop, icela imboni yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha ukuthi iqoqe imali yokuhlinzeka ngamanzi ahlanzekile aphephile eHaiti kulandela inhlekelele yakamuva. Njengoba izikhungo zosizo eziphuthumayo zizama ukuthola izinto ezibalulekile ezidingekayo ngemva nje kokuzamazama komhlaba, i-Just a Drop icela iminikelo ukuze ihlinzeke ngokusekela okuqhubekayo kwamadolobhana nemiphakathi.

Ngemva kwenhlekelele yemvelo, amakhulu abantu baye bafa ngaphandle kokuthola amanzi ahlanzekile, aphephile, kanti amaphesenti angu-50 abantu okwamanje abasezibhedlela eHaiti bakhona ngenxa yamanzi angcolile. I-Just Drop izothumela amathimba ngokushesha nje lapho isikhathi sokuqala sosizo sesiphelile ukusiza ukwakha kabusha ingqalasizinda yamanzi nokukhucululwa kwendle futhi kukhuthaze imiphakathi eshiywe dengwane ukuthi ibuyele ezigodini nasemizini yayo.

UFiona Jeffery, umsunguli nosihlalo we-Just a Drop nosihlalo weWorld Travel Market, uthe: “Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungokwebhizinisi noma ukuzijabulisa, imvelo yemboni yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha ukuthi ihlanganisa abantu abavela emhlabeni wonke. Kufanele sibhekane nezinselelo ezinkulu eHaiti futhi njengemboni kufanele sihlangane futhi sixhase abantu bayo. Ngazo zonke izinhlekelele zalolu hlobo, ukushoda kwamanzi kuyinkinga enkulu futhi izinsiza ezintsha zithunyelwa ngokushesha esiqhingini. Kodwa uma izidingo ezisheshayo sezihlangatshezwana nazo, kubalulekile ukuthi ukwesekwa kuqhubeke ukuze inqubo yokubuyisela iqhubeke. Lokho kusho ukwakhiwa kabusha kwengqalasizinda yamanzi nokuthuthwa kwendle. Isikhalo nje sika-Drop esithi “USIZO NJE I-HAITI” embonini yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha siyingxenye encane yokusabela emhlabeni wonke kule nhlekelele yomhlaba. Kodwa amanzi ahlanzekile, ahlanzekile ayimpahla enikeza ukuphila, futhi izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi zinendima ebalulekile okufanele ziyidlale. Nginxusa wonke umuntu ukuthi angeseke ngoba konke okuncane kwenza umehluko omkhulu.”

UMike Spinelli, owayengumongameli we-American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) nomsizi kasihlalo we-Haitian League, wathi: “Okuxakayo ukuthi inkinga enkulu iHaiti ebhekene nayo iwukuba izinhlangano ezisiza abampofu zigxile ekuqedeni izinkinga zaseHaiti, hhayi izimbangela. Awulaphi indlala ngokuphumelelayo ezweni eligcwele izilwandle ngokuzinika izinhlanzi, kodwa, kunalokho, izigxobo zokudoba. Ukulethwa kwezikebhe ezigcwele amanzi ahlanzekile ahlanzekile eHaiti kufana nalokhu, njengoba kusobala, amanzi ayaphela. Njengoba amaphesenti angu-50 ayo yonke imibhede yasesibhedlela eHaiti egcwele abantu abahlushwa amanzi angcolile, futhi ingane eyodwa kweziyi-10 ifa ingakahlangani neminyaka emihlanu ngenxa yamanzi angcolile, iphrojekthi ye-Just a Drop iwuhlelo lukaNkulunkulu oluya eHaiti. Ukwakhiwa kwemithombo neminye imithombo eqhubekayo yamanzi ahlanzekile kuyisibusiso ngempela ezweni elijwayele ukuhamba amakhilomitha amahlanu ukuze lithole lesi sidingo esiyisisekelo, futhi iJust a Drop kufanele ishayelwe ihlombe.”

Eminyakeni engaphezu kweshumi, i-Just a Drop isisize izingane ezingaphezu kwesigidi nemindeni yazo evela emazweni angu-29 ngokwakha imithombo evikelekile, ukufaka amapayipi nokuhlinzeka ngezindlu zangasese, kuhlanganise nokuthunyelwa okuphumelelayo ngemva kwe-Tsunami ne-Hurricane Mitch eGrenada ngo-2004. Ngemva kwalezi zinhlekelele. kwenzeka, izinhlangano ezisiza umphakathi ezisiza amanzi zagijima izikhalazo zokuthi kuqoqwe imali yokwakha kabusha izinsiza zamanzi ezisimeme futhi zakhuthaza imiphakathi eyayingasahlali emakhaya ukuba ibuyele emakhaya.
