Njengoba ngangithungatha izinsiza, ngagoqwa umsebenzi we-WBW.

Kamuva, ngabamba iqhaza eNgqungqutheleni Yokuthula Yomhlaba Wonke yamahora angama-24 “Ukuhlanganisa Ikusasa Elihlanganyelwe” neqembu lami le-Facebook, lapho saba neseshini esekelwe kumakhono emizuzu engama-90 enesihloko esithi “Zitholele Amandla Akho Okwakha Ukuthula”. Ngenhlanhla, kwakuleyo ngqungquthela nje ngahlangana noDkt. Phill Gittins, uMqondisi Wezemfundo we-WBW.

Kusukela lapho, ukusebenzelana kwami ​​ne-WBW kwaqhutshekiselwa phambili ngokubambisana noDkt. Phill Gittins kwezinye izinhlelo, ezifana ne-International Youth Day Webinar e-Human Rights Education Associates (HREA) lapho ngasebenza khona njengomfundi ofundela umsebenzi. Ngokukholelwa okwabelwana ngakho kwezemfundo njengendlela ephumelelayo yokwakha ukuthula okusimeme kanye nobulungiswa bezenhlalakahle, ngikhuthazeka kakhulu ukujoyina imizamo ye-WBW yokwenza umnikelo emizamweni yokulwa nempi / yokusekela ukuthula emhlabeni wonke.

Yiziphi izinhlobo zezenzo zokuzithandela ozisiza ngazo?

I-internship yami e-WBW ihlanganisa imisebenzi eminingi yokuvolontiya, egxile ku- Uhlelo lwe-Peace Education and Action for Impact (PEAFI).. Enye yezindima zami eqenjini i ukuxhumana nokuxhumana ngokusebenzisa izinkundla zokuxhumana, ukubamba iqhaza ekuthuthukiseni amasu enkundla yezokuxhumana ohlelo lwe-PEAFI kanye namanye amaphrojekthi okufundisa ukuthula e-WBW. Okwamanje, ngisekela i- ukuqapha kanye nokuhlola (i-M&E) yohlelo lwe-PEAFI, esiza ngokuthuthukiswa kohlelo lwe-M&E, ukuqoqwa kwedatha nokuhlaziywa, kanye nokulungiselela umbiko we-M&E. Futhi, ngiyivolontiya ethimbeni lezehlakalo, ngisebenzisana nozakwethu ukubuyekeza Ikhasi Lekhalenda Lemicimbi Ye-WBW njalo.

Iyiphi incomo yakho ephezulu kumuntu ofuna ukuhileleka ne-WBW?

Vele ukwenze futhi uzoba yingxenye yoshintsho wonke umuntu afuna ukulubona. Okumangazayo nge-WBW ukuthi ngeyezishoshovu ezilwa nezimpi ezinolwazi kanye nomuntu osanda kungena kulo mkhakha njengami. Okudingayo nje ukubona inkinga ekuphazamisayo futhi ube nomuzwa wokuthi ufuna ukwenza okuthile ukuyishintsha. Nansi indawo ongathola kuyo amandla, ugqozi, nezinsiza.

Isincomo esisebenza kakhudlwana kungaba ukuqala uhambo lwakho lokulwela ukuthula ngokuthatha a imfundo yokuthula online course kwa-WBW, okungase kukusize wakhe isisekelo solwazi namandla ahlobene okuthanda kwakho siqu noma ukuthuthukiswa kwakho kochwepheshe emkhakheni wokushintsha umphakathi.

Ukuba ngowaseShayina nase-US kukunika muphi umbono mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwamadimoni kwe-China elokhu ikhula kuhulumeni wase-US nabezindaba?

Lona empeleni umbuzo ongiphazamisa isikhathi eside futhi okufanele ngibambene nawo cishe nsuku zonke empilweni yami. Kubonakala kunzima ngempela ukuba ndawana thize phakathi, nokushuba kwesimo phakathi kweChina ne-US, amazwe amabili abaluleke kakhulu kimina. Ababaningi abantu abakhululekile ethonyeni lenzondo ehlala idumile. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, isinqumo sami sokufunda e-US siye sangabaza ngokujulile abantu basezweni lami, njengoba bebengabaza konke okunye okuhlobene naleso sitha esicatshangelwayo. Kodwa ngenhlanhla, ngisekelwa umndeni wami nabangane bami abakhulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, njengomfundi Wezemfundo Yamalungelo Abantu e-US, kuwukuhlukumeza ukubona ukuhlaselwa kwamalungelo abantu eShayina, kokubili emithonjeni yezindaba yase-US ngisho nasezifundweni zezifundo. Kodwa ngenhlanhla, ngesikhathi esifanayo, ngingathola ithemba ezindabeni eziphikisayo ezikhulayo emphakathini wesikole sami nangale kwalokho.

Ngokuvamile kunalokho, sibonakala sijwayele ukusola i-ajenda yezombusazwe ngayo yonke into. Kodwa-ke, kungase kudingeke ukuthi siphebeze inganekwane ngokwethu yokuthi “impahla”, incazelo yokuthi singobani, kufanele isekelwe “kokunye”, ukuzibona ukuthi singobani. Eqinisweni, ukushisekela izwe okunempilo kungaphezu kokuziqhenya ngobumpumputhe ngalokho esiyikho. Kufanele kube nokuqondiswa okubucayi okuhambisana nothando lwezwe likamama, okuhlukanisa ukushisekela izwe okwakhayo okugqugquzela ubumbano, nobuzwe obubhubhisayo obukhuthaza ukuhlukana.

Njengoba ngibhala ikharikhulamu yokuthula ezimeni zangemva kwezingxabano, ngigxile emalungelweni abantu kanye nezishoshovu zentsha, bengilokhu ngicabanga ngendlela yokuxhumanisa phakathi kokuthula nobushoshovu, imiqondo emibili ebukeka iphikisana ngandlela thize ngamathoni. Manje, uma ngibheka ukwengezwa okubalulekile ekushisekeleni izwe, ngithanda ukwabelana ngengcaphuno evela ezinhlelweni zami zesifundo ukuze ngiphethe impendulo - ukuthula akukaze kube mayelana nokuthi "konke kuhamba kahle", kodwa ngaphezu kwezwi eliphuma enhliziyweni yakho elithi "Angiyena ngempela." Kulungile ngakho." Uma iningi lingalungile ngalokho okuyikho, ngeke kube kude neqhwa. Lapho iningi lingasathuli, sisendleleni eya ekuthuleni.

Yini ekugcina uphefumulelwe ukusekela ushintsho?

Ukufunda, ukwenza inethiwekhi, kanye nokwenza izenzo. Lezi yizinto ezintathu eziphezulu ezihlale zingikhuthaza ukuthi ngikhuthaze ushintsho.

Okokuqala, njengomfundi oneziqu, nginentshiseko enkulu ngokugxila kwami ​​emfundweni yokuthula futhi ngimagange ukuthatha leli thuba lokuzithandela ukuthuthukisa ukuqonda kwami ​​​​nokucabanga ngokuthula okusimeme, ukuxhumana kwamasiko kanye nentuthuko yamazwe ngamazwe.

Njengekholwa ezinkundleni zokuxhumana kanye nokuxhumana, ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngikhuthazeka kakhulu ukusebenzelana nomphakathi obanzi wokwakha ukuthula, njengenethiwekhi ye-WBW. Ukuxhumana nabantu abanomqondo ofanayo, njengabakhi bokuthula abasebasha ohlelweni lwe-PEAFI, kuhlale kungenza ngiqabuleke futhi ngibe namandla okubona ngeso lengqondo izinguquko ezinhle.

Okokugcina, ngikholelwa ngokujulile ukuthi ukuthula nemfundo yamalungelo abantu kufanele kuqondiswe “ezinhliziyweni, emakhanda nasezandleni”, okungabandakanyi nje kuphela ukufunda ngolwazi, izindinganiso kanye namakhono, kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu, kuholela ezenzweni zokushintsha umphakathi. Ngalo mqondo, ngithemba ukuqala “kubushoshovu obuncane” obuqhutshwa yiwo wonke umuntu emhlabeni, esivame ukukushaya indiva singaqondile, nokho olwakha kakhulu izinguquko ezibanzi nezijulile ezisizungezile sonke.

Ubhubhane lwe-coronavirus likuthinte kanjani amandla akho ku-activism?

Eqinisweni, ulwazi lwami lobushoshovu lusanda kuqala phakathi nobhubhane lwe-COVID-19. Ngaqala izifundo zami ze-masters e-Columbia University ngokuthatha izifundo cishe. Ngaphandle kwezinselelo ezinkulu zezikhathi zokuvalelwa, ngithole amandla amaningi amahle kulwazi oluhlukile lokuhambisa impilo ku-inthanethi. Ngiholwa isifundo sokuthula namalungelo abantu kanye nesifundo socwaningo lukaprofesa mayelana nezishoshovu zentsha, ngashintsha ukugxila kwami ​​kwaba iMfundo Yokuthula Nezamalungelo Abantu, okunginika umbono omusha sha ngemfundo. Ngokokuqala ngqa, ngathola ukwazi ukuthi imfundo ingaba nethonya futhi iguqule, kunokuba nje iphindaphinde izikhundla zenhlalakahle njengoba ngangivame ukukubona.

Ngaleso sikhathi, ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 lwenze umhlaba waba mncane, hhayi nje kuphela ngomqondo wokuthi sonke siboshwe ndawonye yile nkinga engakaze ibonwe, kodwa futhi njengoba isikhombisa amathuba amaningi okuthi abantu bangathintana kanjani izinjongo ezivamile zokuthula nezinguquko ezinhle. Ngijoyine amanethiwekhi amaningi okuthula, okuhlanganisa njengomxhumanisi wabafundi we-Peace Education Network ekolishi lami. Ekuqaleni kwesemester, sihlele umcimbi, simema amalungu kanye nontanga esikoleni ukuthi babe nengxoxo mayelana nokuthi “iziphi izinguquko ofuna ukuzenza emhlabeni wangemva kobhubhane”. Kungakapheli isonto elilodwa noma ngaphezulu, sezwa ngezimpendulo zevidiyo zabantu ezivela kuwo wonke amagumbi omhlaba, sabelana ngolwazi nokukhathazeka okuhluke ngokuphelele phakathi nalolu bhubhane kanye nombono okwabelwana ngawo wekusasa elithandwayo.

Kuhle futhi ukubalula ukuthi ngibhala ngokuhlanganyela ikharikhulamu yobhubhane ye-NGO yezemfundo yamalungelo abantu ezinze e-US, eye yalingwa ezikoleni zamabanga aphezulu emhlabeni jikelele. Emsebenzini wamanje wamamojula anwetshiwe, ngigxile ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu kanye nezifo eziwubhubhane, kanye namantombazane asengozini kulo bhubhane, womabili engivumela ukuthi ngigqamise izindaba zobulungiswa bezenhlalo esimweni senkinga yezempilo yabantu, okuholela abafundi abasebasha ukuthi bathathe izintambo. Ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 njengethuba elihle lokuzindla ngomhlaba futhi ube abenzi bezinguquko.
