\u201cDit voel vir my of ek sopas voluit begin lewe het, en dit is heerlik om steeds te kan werskaf en te woeker,\u201d s\u00ea Jeannie Burke van Kroonstad, wat haar 70ste verjaardag op Vrydag 2 Augustus gevier het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die afgetrede Engelse onderwyser van Kroonstad se inisiatief en dryfveer ken geen perke nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Verlede jaar het sy haar eerste kinderboek in verskeie landstale bekendgestel en het sopas weer \u2019n kinderboek geskryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Benewens die eerste storie, Waar is Wollebol?,<\/span><\/i> wat in Engels, Sesotho, Setswana, IsiXhosa en ook in Zoeloe vertaal is, werk Burke aan die kinderboek Kuiertyd op Kronendal<\/span> asook \u2019n illustrasieboek getiteld Shielded<\/span>, \u2019n boek met Bybelverse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die illustrasies in die boek is drie-dimensioneel en word met die hand gedoen. Die diepte word verkry deur te teken, verf, knip en plak om die nodige effek te kry vir elke spesifieke illustrasie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Die illustrasies word so geskep om die verskillende kulture en die streke van die betrokke taalgroepe te reflekteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Burke, wat op \u2019n Vrystaatse plaas groot geword het met Sotho-sprekende kinders as haar eerste vriende, het \u2019n fyn aanvoeling vir mense van verskillende kulture en hul seerkry maak vir haar werklik saak. Vandaar die interkulturele aanslag van haar werk wat ook \u2019n nalatenskap van haar wese is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die boeke word aan biblioteke landwyd bekendgestel en is onlangs aan die Amazwi-museum van letterkunde in Grahamstad voorgel\u00ea. Die hardebandbuiteblaaie van die inheemse taal boeke word herontwerp om aan \u2019n landswye kompetisie deel te neem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVir my het die reis en groot avontuur van skep en skryf nou eers begin, dit laat my met \u2019n ongekende opgewondenheid,\u201d s\u00ea Burke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het \u2019n BJuris-graad, \u2019n honneursgraad in kommunikasiekunde en later \u2019n Senior en Verdere Onderwys en Opleidingsfase- (NGOS) graad verwerf, en as heeltydse Engels-onderwyser in Kroonstad gewerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n N\u00e1 25 jaar se toewyding om rigtingbepalend in kinders se lewe op te tree, het sy afgetree. Sy sit nou haar roeping voort met die skryf en illustrasie van leersame kinderboeke. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cDit voel vir my of ek sopas voluit begin lewe het, en dit
