Ukunikela ngezinto zakho ezindala kwivenkile ethengisa izinto ezisetyenzisiweyo kunokuba nzima, kodwa ingcamango kukuba izinto zakho ziya kuphinda zisetyenziswe. Emva kokunikela, ziya kudluliselwa kumnini omtsha. Kodwa uzilungiselela njani ezi zinto ukuze zisetyenziswe kwakhona?
26 IValencia eSan Francisco yindawo encinci yokugcina impahla enemigangatho emithathu eyayisakuba yifektri endala yezihlangu. Ngoku iminikelo engapheliyo kwiSalvation Army ihlelwa apha, kwaye ngaphakathi kufana nedolophu encinci.
“Ngoku sikwindawo yokukhupha impahla,” utshilo uCindy Engler, umphathi wobudlelwane boluntu kwiSalvation Army. Sibone iitreyila zigcwele iingxowa zenkunkuma, iibhokisi, izibane, izilwanyana ezifakwe izinto ezilahlekileyo - izinto beziqhubeka zisiza kwaye indawo yayinengxolo.
“Ngoko ke eli linyathelo lokuqala,” utshilo. “Iyasuswa elorini ize ihlelwe ngokuxhomekeke kwinxalenye yesakhiwo esiya kuyo ukuze ihlelwe ngakumbi.”
Mna no-Engler saya nzulu kweli gumbi likhulu lokugcina impahla elinemigangatho emithathu. Naphi na apho uya khona, umntu uhlela iminikelo kwiimashini zeplastiki ezingamakhulu. Icandelo ngalinye legumbi lokugcina impahla linesimo salo: kukho ithala leencwadi elinamagumbi amahlanu aneeshelufu zeencwadi ezingama-20-foot ukuphakama, indawo apho oomatrasi babhakwa khona kwi-oven enkulu ukuqinisekisa ukuba bakhuselekile ukuba bangathengiswa kwakhona, kunye nendawo yokugcina izinto zodidi.
UEngler wadlula kwenye yeenqwelo. “Iimifanekiso ezithambileyo, iibhaskithi, awazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni apha,” watsho ekhwaza.
“Mhlawumbi ifike izolo,” utshilo uEngler njengoko sasidlula abantu bephanda ngeempahla ezininzi.
“Ngale ntsasa sizilungiselele iishelufu zangomso,” wongezelela uEngler, “sicubungula iimpahla ezili-12,000 ngosuku.”
Iimpahla ezingenakuthengiswa zifakwa kwiibhali. I-Baler sisitshixo esikhulu esicoca zonke iimpahla ezingenakuthengiseka zibe ziityhubhu ezinobukhulu bebhedi. U-Engler wajonga ubunzima benye yeengxowa: "Le inobunzima obuziikhilogram ezili-1,118."
Emva koko ibheli iya kuthengiswa kwabanye, abanokuthi bayisebenzisele izinto ezifana nokuzalisa iikhaphethi.
“Ngoko ke, nezinto ezikrazukileyo nezonakalisweyo zinobomi,” utshilo uEngler kum. “Siyazenza ezinye izinto zibe nempumelelo enkulu. Siyayixabisa yonke iminikelo.”
Isakhiwo siyaqhubeka nokwakhiwa, sijongeka ngathi yi-labyrinth. Kukho ikhitshi, icawa, kwaye uEngler undixelele ukuba bekukho i-bowling alley. Ngequbuliso intsimbi yakhala - yayilixesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa.
Asikuko nje kuphela indawo yokugcina izinto, ikwayindlu. Umsebenzi wendlu yokugcina izinto uyinxalenye yenkqubo yokulungisa iziyobisi notywala kwiSalvation Army. Abathathi-nxaxheba bahlala, basebenza kwaye bafumana unyango apha iinyanga ezintandathu. U-Engler undixelele ukuba kukho amadoda ali-112 atya izidlo ezithathu ngosuku.
Le nkqubo isimahla kwaye ixhaswa yinzuzo yevenkile engaphaya kwesitalato. Ilungu ngalinye linomsebenzi wexesha elizeleyo, ingcebiso yomntu ngamnye kunye neqela, kwaye inxalenye enkulu yoko kungokomoya. I-Salvation Army ibhekisa kwi-501c3 kwaye izichaza njenge "nxalenye yevangeli ye-Universal Christian Church".
“Awucingi kakhulu ngezinto ezenzeke kwixesha elidlulileyo,” utshilo. “Ungajonga kwixesha elizayo uze usebenzele iinjongo zakho. Ndifuna ukuba noThixo ebomini bam, kufuneka ndifunde kwakhona indlela yokusebenza, kwaye le ndawo indifundise loo nto.”
Ndihamba ngaphesheya kwesitalato ndisiya evenkileni. Izinto ezazikade zizezomnye umntu ngoku zibonakala ngathi zezam. Ndijonge kwiitayi ndaza ndafumana ipiyano endala kwicandelo lefenitshala. Ekugqibeleni, kwiCookware, ndifumene ipleyiti entle kakhulu nge-$1.39. Ndagqiba ekubeni ndiyithenge.
Le pleyiti idlule ezandleni ezininzi ngaphambi kokuba ifike ebhegini yam. Ungathi ngumkhosi. Ngubani owaziyo, ukuba andiyiphuli, angaphinde afike apha kwakhona.
