Om te lees moet \u2019n gewoonte wees soos om elke dag water te drink, s\u00ea Latifah Jacobs van Aurorah Kuils River CAN, \u2019n organisasie sonder winsbejag in Sunbirdpark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs, wat sedert die pandemie \u2019n voedingskema vanaf haar huis bedryf en ook ander sopkombuise met donasies ondersteun, het verlede jaar op Mandeladag die Aurorah-biblioteek in \u2019n skeepshouer langs haar huis oopgemaak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede week was Jacobs saam met \u2019n handvol openbare biblioteke onder die genomineerdes in die kategorie \u201cBelangrike bydrae tot die ontwikkeling en bevordering van lees en geletterdheid\u201d van die Wes-Kaapse departement kultuursake se kulturele toekennings. Die D\u2019Almeida-biblioteek in Mosselbaai is as wenner aangewys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs s\u00ea sy self is eintlik baie lui vir lees maar het uit haar foute geleer. \u201cEk het \u2019n re\u00ebl in my huis; ek en my meisiekind lees \u2019n uur elke dag.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy wil lees aanmoedig sodat dit \u2019n gewoonte kan raak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kan nie kinders aanmoedig om universiteit of kollege toe te gaan en ek berei hulle nie voor vir wat wag nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy sien hoe kinders wat verder wil gaan studeer nog nie met begrip kan lees of die konteks van woorde behoorlik verstaan nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk voel sterk lees is \u2019n fondament. As dit kom by armoedeverligting of om armoede te beperk, dan is opvoeding die sleutel. Dis jou enigste pad uit. Tensy jy die Lotto wen, maar as jy ongeletterd is, gaan jy ook nie weet hoe om die geld te hanteer nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die pandemie-tyd het Jacobs opgelet dat die kinders van Happy Valley wat na die sopkombuis toe gekom het, nie met hul skoolwerk kon byhou nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle het nie die ondervinding gehad van \u2018my juffrou kan vir my ma op WhatsApp \u2019n boodskap stuur\u2019 en dan gaan die skoolwerk aan nie. Ek het opgelet dat daar niks vir die kinders was om te doen nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die idee om \u2019n biblioteek te begin, het begin vorm kry toe hulle vakansieprogramme aangebied het om die kinders besig te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs s\u00ea sy het agtergekom daar was kinders van tot 13 jaar wat nie hul eie naam reg kon spel nie. Sy het geweet sy sal iets moet doen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Van die ouer besoekers aan die sopkombuis wat haar twee boekrakke raakgesien het, wou soms ook by haar weet of hulle \u2019n boek kon leen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haar twee boekrakke en boeke staan nou langs al die ander rakke in die hoek van die mini-biblioteek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om die biblioteek in die buurt te h\u00ea, gaan vir Jacobs oor opvoeding en om toegang tot boeke te vergemaklik \u2013 vir jonk en oud. Die openbare biblioteke in Sarepta en Kuilsrivier is vir baie \u2019n taxi-rit te ver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die skeepshouer, wat deur \u2019n buitelandse maatskappy geskenk is, het met die hulp van vriende en ander wat die inisiatief ondersteun het, vensters, \u2019n plafon en rakke vol boeke gekry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs s\u00ea daar is gereeld nuwe gesigte wat die biblioteek besoek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is nie elke maand of elke dag dieselfde kinders wat kom nie. Met eksamentyd maak ons die biblioteek self oor die naweek oop vir die matrikulante om te kom sit en te studeer, om \u2019n bietjie stilte te h\u00ea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wat kom, kry ook iets om te eet. Sy s\u00ea daar is heelwat buitelanders onder die matrikulante wat daarheen kom. \u201cHulle is maar altyd honger as hulle kom, maar hulle sal nie sommer vra nie. Ons help met \u2019n toebroodjie of so.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Groep van sowat 10 leerders, van graad 9 tot 12, het Dinsdae en Donderdae \u2019n klas waar hulle op hul fone gratis aanlyn bystand kry van Levi Daniels, wat leerondersteuning bied, vertel Jacobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het eers kom kyk of hulle aanlyn kan klas kry. Die leerders stuur vir hom vooraf watter wiskunde-huiswerk hulle mee sukkel en hy werk dan met hulle daardeur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs s\u00ea tydens die skoolvakansie probeer hulle om drie dae in die week \u2019n vakansieprogram vir die kinders te hou met van \u2019n poppekas tot leesaktiwiteite. Hulle gebruik van die boeke, waarvan hulle verskeie eksemplare het, om die kinders opgewonde te maak oor lees, deurdat elkeen \u2019n gedeelte moet lees en daarvan moet vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns leer ook vir die kinders om respek vir mekaar en respek vir die boeke te h\u00ea.\u201d Sy s\u00ea met die biblioteek se opening het \u2019n oom vir die kinders verduidelik die boeke is lewend en het gevoelens, so hulle moet mooi werk daarmee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBaie van ons kinders se ouers kom terug en s\u00ea die kinders se gedrag het verander. Hulle is nie meer so hostile<\/em> nie,\u201d s\u00ea Jacobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aangesien daar nie \u2019n gemeenskapsaal naby is nie, het die biblioteek ook \u2019n plek geword waar groepe soos die buurtwag vergaderings kan hou, vertel Jacobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy nooi ook organisasies of diensverskaffers uit om inligting met mense te kom deel by die biblioteek \u2013 van hoe om \u2019n bankrekening oop te maak tot regshulp, geestesgesondheid of ander gesondheidsdienste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cClaudia Roodt bied vir ons noodhulp en trauma-opleiding aan in vier sessies op Saterdae. Dis baie waardevolle opleiding vir maatskaplike werkers, onderwysers, en mense wat in die gemeenskap werk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As jy by die biblioteek ingaan, sien \u2018n mens heel eerste die muur waar van die kinders se tekeninge en briefies opgeplak is. \u201cDie kinders is baie opgewonde as hul goed vir \u2019n tydjie hier op die muur is,\u201d s\u00ea Jacobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019n Kinderlik-eerlike dankie-s\u00ea-briefie in netjiese uitgeskryfde letters van \u2019n kind wat haar skooljaar goed afgesluit het, getuig van die verskil wat die biblioteek maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die erkenning wat kom met toekennings (waarvan \u2019n paar ook teen die muur pryk) is welkom, maar dit is die opregte dankies wat Jacobs se hartsnare roer. \u201cNou die dag het een van die kinders by ons voedingsprogram vir my ges\u00ea: \u2018Motjie is \u2019n regte blessing<\/em> van die Here\u2019. Dit is net die manier waarop hy dit ges\u00ea het; ek\u2019t ges\u00ea, hy gaan maak dat ek tjank.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Om te lees moet \u2019n gewoonte wees soos
