Nal’ibali literacy activist and Tsebo Ke Lesedi Reading Club leader Basetsana Sheane recently hosted the Making Friends With Books event in Theunissen, Free State.
Aimed at sparking a love of reading for enjoyment in the area, the event had speakers from the literacy space in Free State, storytelling sessions, poetry, and a read-aloud session. Children also received copies of the Nal’ibali Read-Aloud Story Collection and “Kudu Gets A New Set of Ears” written by Martha Sijwally Tsiki at the event.
Basetsana is a perfect example of the contribution that we can all make towards improving literacy in our communities. To become a Nal’ibali Literacy activist and learn how to start your own reading club, WhatsApp “courses” to 0600 44 2254.
