Bu cyffro mawr ymysg cymuned Gymreig Y Wladfa pan gyhoeddodd Undeb Rygbi Cymru llynedd fod dwy gêm brawf yn mynd i gael eu chwarae yn yr Ariannin am y tro cyntaf ers 2006, pan chwaraewyd un o’r gemau ym Mhorth Madryn. Yn anffodus, roedd y ffioedd a orchmynnwyd i gynnal gêm ryngwladol yn y dalaith du hwnt i afael undebau rygbi Trelew a Phorth Madryn, ac felly fe chwaraewyd y ddwy gêm yng ngogledd yr Ariannin. Serch hynny, wedi rhagweld y byddai yno frwdfrydedd ymysg cefnogwyr Cymru i ymweld â’r Wladfa yn ystod eu taith i’r Ariannin, daeth y tair ysgol Cymraeg at ei gilydd i drefnu digwyddiadau ar eu cyfer, i’w croesawu ac i godi ychydig o arian i gefnogi’r iaith Gymraeg yn Y Wladfa. Teithiodd Jeremy Wood o Esquel i Gymru ar ran Ysgol y Cwm, er mwyn cwrdd â threfnwyr teithiau a oedd yn paratoi i gludo’r cefnogwyr allan i’r Ariannin, ac i egluro trefniadau’r ysgolion a’r croeso oedd yn cael ei gynllunio. O ganlyniad, daeth tua 60 o gefnogwyr i Hen Gapel Bethel, y Gaiman, ar nos Fawrth y 12fed o Fehefin, i fwynhau Noson Lawen a drefnwyd gan yr Ysgolion Cymraeg yn Nhrelew a’r Gaiman. Casglwyd dros ddwy fil o ddoleri, a gafodd ei rannu’n hafal ymysg yr ysgolion. Wedi dychwelyd o’r Gaiman, fe gyflwynodd Jeremy Wood yr arian a godwyd i Ysgol y Cwm yn y Noson Lawen i Gymdeithas Gymreig Trevelin. Bydd yr arian yn cyfrannu at gwblhau’r gwaith adeiladau sydd eisoes wedi cychwyn ar weddill adeilad Ysgol y Cwm yn Nhrevelin. Dyma’r tro cyntaf i’r tair ysgol Gymraeg yn y Wladfa weithio ar y cyd ar brosiect o’r fath, ac, wedi llwyddiant ysgubol, mae’n debygol iawn nad dyma fydd y tro olaf.

When the Welsh Rugby Union announced they were planning to play two test matches in Argentina in June, the Welsh communities in Patagonia became excited about the possibilities of one of the test matches being played in Patagonia, as it had been in 2006. Sadly, the Patagonian rugby unions in Trelew and Puerto Madryn couldn't afford the very high fees demanded nowadays to host an international test match and so both games were played in the north of Argentina.
However, anticipating that the Welsh fans wouldn't pass up an opportunity of visiting Welsh Patagonia during their trip to Argentina, the three Welsh schools in Patagonia got together to plan some events both to welcome the fans and to raise money in support of the Welsh language in Patagonia. Jeremy Wood of Esquel, representing Ysgol y Cwm, travelled to Wales to meet with travel agents who were planning to take Welsh rugby fans to Argentina and to explain to them about the proposed welcome being laid on for the fans. The outcome was that, on Tuesday 12 June, some 60 Welsh fans attended a noson lawen at Hen Gapel Bethel in Gaiman organised by the Welsh schools in Trelew and Gaiman and around two thousand dollars was raised, which was equally divided between the three schools. Jeremy Wood presented Ysgol y Cwm's share of the money raised to the committee of the Welsh society in Trevelin, where it will be used in conjunction with the costs of the completion of the building of Ysgol y Cwm in Trevelin. This was the first time that the three Welsh schools in Patagonia had worked together on a single project and, following its resounding success, it won't be the last. here to edit. |
