Afrikaans to English: How beautiful is this...? General field: Other Detailed field: Religion
Source text - Afrikaans Hoe mooi is dit? Hoe ouer mens word, hoe meer besef jy dat 'n sewe honderd rand horlosie presies dieselfde tyd aangee as een van drie duisend rand. Of jou huis sewentig vierkante meter is of sewehonderd vierkante meter, die eensaamheid en hartseer of vrede en geluk binne-in bly dieselfde.
Hopelik sal ons almal eendag besef dat innerlike vreugde en vrede nie van fisiese besittings of rykdom afhang nie.
Of jy nou eerste klas of ekonomiese klas in 'n vlieftuig reis, as die vliegtuig val, val jy saam.
Daarom moet ons verstaan dat as ons ware vriende het, boeties en sussies saam met wie jy kan lag en huil en sing en bid oor alles en nog wat, dat dit eintlik ware rykdom is...
Geniet die mense rondom jou wat God oor jou pad gebring het, want hul waarde is onmeetbaar en onskatbaar.
Vertel vir hulle hoe kosbaar hulle vir jou is en hoe belangrik hulle voetspore in jou lewe is.
Wees ook dankbaar vir diegene wat jou wieletjies pap maak en jou geduld beproef, want jy leer waardevolle lewenslesse deur hulle. Vergewe mekaar en maak reg dit wat jy verbrou het, terwyl daar nog tyd is daarvoor. Wees dankbaar dat jy 'n gesin en vriende het. Hulle is net vir jou geleen, en eendag gaan jy hul werklike waarde besef as jy hulle lee stoel of plekkie raaksien...
Besef vandag opnuut dat sonder God in jou lewe, alles eintlik net 'n doellose gejaag na wind is.
Translation - English How beautiful is this...? The older you get the more you realise that a watch costing seven hundred rand still tells time the same way as a watch which cost three thousand rand. Whether your house measures seventy square metres or seven hundred sqaure metres, the amount of loneliness and heartache or the amount of peace and happiness on the inside, still remain the same.
Hopefully one day, we will come to realize that our inward joy and peace does not depend upon our physical possessions nor does it depend upon wealth.
Whether travelling by plane on first class or economic class, should the plane fall and crash, you will also still fall along with it too.
Thats why we should understand that should we have true friends, brothers and sisters with whom we can laugh and cry and sing and pray about all and sundry, that is true wealth.
Enjoy those who have been placed upon your life's-path, their value is immeasurable and invaluable.
Tell them how precious they are and how important their footprints are in your life. Also be thankful for those who puncture your wheels and test your patience as you learn valuable life-lessons through them. Forgive one another and fix that which you have messed up on, while there is still time. Be thankful for friends and family. They are merely borrowed to us and someday you will spot their true value as you see their vacant chair or special place...
Realize anew today, that without God in your life, everything remains an aimless chase after wind.
English to Afrikaans: How to register for homeschooling in South Africa. General field: Other Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Homeschooling is precisely that. Teaching kids a curriculum at home and not at a school. It is recognized by the Department of Basic Education in South Africa as a legal practice and you can apply to the head of your province's education department to register your children for the option to homeschool.
One of the most difficult tasks is finding the right curriculum for your child. There are many sites and help groups available online (it is a fast growing trend in SA). A bit of research, foresight and proper assessment will help you choose the right one for your family. The department of Basic Education does not have a preferred homeschooling curriculum (in fact, all independent schools are free to adopt their own). They only offer guidelines which outline the compulsory phases of education (foundation, intermediate and senior) which can be found at the governmental website.
To register for homeschooling, go to your provincial department of Education offices.
Translation - Afrikaans Tuisonderwys is presies dit: die onderrig van 'n kurrikulum aan kinders by die huis en nie by 'n skool nie. Dit is erken deur die Departement van Basiese Onderwys in Suid-Afrika as 'n geregterlike praktyk en jy kan by die hoof van jou provinsie se onderwysdepartement aansoek doen om te registreer vir die opsie om jou kinders tuis skool te gee.
Een van die moeilikste take is om die regte kurrikulum vir jou kind te vind . Daar is baie webwerwe en hulpgroepe aanlyn beskikbaar (dit is 'n vinnig groeiende neiging in SA ). 'n Bietjie navorsing , versiendheid en behoorlike assessering sal jou help om die regte een vir jou gesin te kies. Die departement van basiese onderwys het nie ' n voorkeurkurrikulum vir tuisonderrig nie (in werklikheid is alle onafhanklike skole vry om hul eie aan te neem). Hulle bied slegs riglyne aan wat die verpligte fases van onderwys uiteensit (fondasie, intermedier en senior) wat gevind kan word op die regeringswebtuiste.
Om te registreer vir tuisonderrig , gaan na jou provinsiale Departement van Onderwys kantore.
