Voices of Impact

Ek voel altyd: behalwe vir VVA se materiële hulp, hef dit mense se lewens op. Dit bring hulle uit hul huise, laat hulle bymekaar kom en gee hulle die gevoel om iets te doen en te beteken.

Sarie Kok VVA Edenburg

Doen aan ander wat jy graag aan jouself gedoen sou wou he indien jy in hul posisie was. Opoffering en van jouself gee maak n verskil in iemand anders se lewe

Hannelie VVA Tweeling

Ek voel trots om te sê ek werk vir VVA..'n organisasie wat deernis het vir ander mense en wel die werk doen waarvoor dit staan. Vra jy vir die maatskaplike personeel wat hulle passie in die organisasie is, is almal se antwoord om n verskil in mense se lewe te maak. Ten spyte van moeilike en uitdagende situasies, doen personeel hul bes.
