It is here that she created her non-profit organisation to provide education and training for the wives and children of farm labourers during the height of apartheid. Her profound influence on these families labels her as an activist for her early childhood development (ECD) and adult teaching advocacy in rural communities. This memoir is about family, love, loss, finding purpose and dedicating oneself to a life of service. Eloquently written and told with great sensitivity and humility, this is a memoir about how one woman's unexpected path led to family-like bonds in the unlikeliest of places, and a dream so profound that it would impact generations of young learners and the women who teach them."--Publisher's description. 500 $a "A memoir"--Cover. 500 $a Foreword by Professor Jonathan Jansen. 505 0 $a The farm -- The town -- Sausages and butter: Preserving tradition -- The great divide -- The pondok -- The stad -- The toilet-lid covers -- 16 June -- The nursery school -- Rebecca -- 1 Milk and oranges -- Josephine -- The washing of hands -- The pothole -- Sickness -- Bonny -- A modest proposal -- Ntataise -- Papadi -- Suspicion -- New wings -- Too many questions -- Unexpected progress -- The do-gooder -- Sowing the seeds -- A warning -- Drumbeats -- Far and away -- Patience -- The ambassador -- Woman of the Year -- Flying the coop -- Letsitele -- Sharp sharp -- The shoplifter -- Election day -- Letting go -- Scientifically proven -- Toy trolleys -- Maria and Ishmael -- New York -- An empty space -- A new millennium -- Selena Moloke -- The Queen Mother -- Positive -- The vigil -- Toyi-toyi -- Tomorrow. 600 10 $a Evans, Jane $c (Human rights worker) 650 0 $a Early childhood education $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Elementary education of adults $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Social advocacy $z South Africa $x Biography. 650 7 $a Early childhood education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00900596 650 7 $a Elementary education of adults. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00907873 650 7 $a Social advocacy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122271 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B7AA9E08FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
