Ubandakanyeke njani kwi-anti-war activism kwaye World BEYOND War (WBW)?
Ndingumthetheleli wemfazwe ixesha elide. Ekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1970, ndangena kwi Uxolo njengendlela yokusebenzela uxolo kunye nemfazwe. Njengomfundisi-ntsapho, ndabanceda abafundi baqonde oko kwenzekayo kwihlabathi elibangqongileyo, ndibethelela imfuneko yokuncokola nentsebenziswano. Ndililungu lemibutho eyahlukeneyo, njenge I-WILPF (iManyano yaMazwe ngaMazwe yabasetyhini yoXolo neNkululeko) ePittsburgh kwaye Yeka ukuBhankisha ibhombu, yaye ndithabatha inxaxheba kuqhankqalazo nakwizenzo zasekuhlaleni. Ngo-2020, ndiye ndabandakanyeka ngokukhutheleyo World BEYOND War; ubhubhane wandinyanzela ukuba ndikhangele iindlela ezintsha zokuzibandakanya. I-WBW indenze ndenze loo nto.
Ngaba ubhubhane we-coronavirus ikuchaphazele njani ukusebenza kwakho?
UCovid wandibandakanya ngakumbi World BEYOND War. Ngo-2020 bendikhangela iindlela zokusebenza ngezizathu endikholelwa kuzo kwaye ndizibhaqile World BEYOND War izifundo. Bendisazi nge-WBW kwaye ndizimase iminyhadala ethile, kodwa ubhubhani wandibandakanya ngakumbi. Ndithathe izifundo ezimbini kunye neWBW: IMfazwe kunye neNgqongileyo kunye nokupheliswa kweMfazwe 101. Ukusuka apho ndavolontiya kunye ne Imfundo yoXolo kunye neNtshukumo yenkqubo yokulinga iMpembelelo ngo-2021. Ngoku, ndiyalandela Imisebenzi yeWBW kunye neziganeko kwaye wabelane ngazo nabanye kuthungelwano lwam lwasePittsburgh.
Loluphi uhlobo lwemisebenzi yeWBW osebenza kuyo?
Ngoku ndibandakanyeka kwiprojekthi yeWBW/Rotary Action for Peace “Imfundo yoXolo kunye nesenzo seMpembelelo (PEAI).” Ndandikhe ndeva ngale nkqubo yokwakha izakhono zabayili boxolo abaselula, kodwa andizange ndinike ngqalelo ingako kuba ndisemtsha. Ethetha noMlawuli wezeMfundo weWBW Phill Gittins, nangona kunjalo, wachaza ukuba le yinkqubo yezizukulwana. Ubuze ukuba ndingacebisa na iqela laseVenezuela kuba ndithetha iSpanish. Ndathi ndakufumanisa ukuba kukho iqela laseCameroon, ndazinikela ukuba ndiliqeqeshe nam, ekubeni ndandineminyaka eliqela ndihlala kwelo lizwe ndithetha isiFrentshi. Ke ngo-2021 ndiye ndacebisa iqela laseVenezuela nelaseCameroon kwaye ndaba lilungu leqela leGlobal Advisory.
NdisekwiQela leGlobal lincedisa ngokucwangcisa, ukuqwalaselwa komxholo, ukuhlelwa kwezinto ezithile, kunye nokuphumeza utshintsho olucetyiswe luvavanyo lokulinga. Njengoko inkqubo ye-PEAI ka-2023 iqala, ndicebisa iqela laseHaiti. Ndikholelwa ngamandla ukuba i-PEAI yenza ukuba abantu abatsha babe ngabakhi boxolo ngokusebenzisa izizukulwana, uluntu lwehlabathi.
Yeyiphi ingcebiso yakho ephezulu kumntu ofuna ukuzibandakanya ne-anti-war activism kunye ne-WBW?
Wonke umntu unokwenza into ukuqhubela phambili ukulwa nemfazwe / i-pro-peace activism. Jonga kwindawo ohlala kuyo. Ngubani osele ewenza lo msebenzi? Ziziphi iindlela onokuba nenxaxheba ngazo? Mhlawumbi kukuzimasa iindibano okanye mhlawumbi kusemva kwemiboniso yokunikela ngexesha okanye imali. World BEYOND War isoloko ilukhetho olusebenzayo. I-WBW ibonelela ngobutyebi bolwazi kunye nezibonelelo. Iikhosi zimnandi. Iindawo ezininzi ziye zakwenza oko Izahluko zeWBW. Ukuba isixeko / idolophu yakho ayenzi, ungaqala enye, okanye unokukhuthaza umbutho okhoyo ukuba ube Ilungu leWBW. I-Pittsburgh ayinaso isahluko seWBW. Ndiyasebenza ngaphakathi I-WILPF (iManyano yaMazwe ngaMazwe yabasetyhini yoXolo neNkululeko) ePittsburgh. Sibambe umsitho kunye neWBW sisebenzisa iqonga labo leZoom kunye nokufikelela kwintengiso. I-WILPF Pgh ngoku inika ingxelo rhoqo malunga nemicimbi ye-WBW kunye nemisebenzi kwaye siye sakwazi ukwabelana nathi kunye nabo. Uxolo luqala ngentsebenziswano!
Yintoni egcina ukuba uphefumlele ukuxhasa utshintsho?
Ndiyayibona intswelo enjalo kum kunye nakwihlabathi jikelele. Kuya kufuneka ndenze indima yam ukwenza umhlaba ube yindawo engcono yezizukulwana ezizayo. Ngamanye amaxesha, ndiyadimazeka, kodwa ndisebenza kunye namanethiwekhi afana ne-WBW kunye ne-WILPF, ndinokufumana ukuphefumlelwa kunye nenkxaso ukuqhubeka nokuqhubela phambili ngeendlela ezilungileyo.

Ndaye ndabandakanyeka ngakumbi kwi-WBW ngokuthatha ikhosi ngexesha lokuqala lokuvalwa kwe-Covid (Yiloo nto sibabiza ngokuba yi-NZ-Ndicinga ukuba e-States basebenzise igama elithi "indawo yokuhlala-kwindawo"). Ukufunda iprofayile yakho kundinike izimvo zokuba zeziphi izinto ezongezelelweyo endinokuzenza. Ndiyathanda i-whakatauki yakho - "uxolo luqala ngentsebenziswano". ULiz Remmerswaal ngummeli wethu weWBW waseNew Zealand. Naye uyandikhuthaza!
