Tonight I want to introduce a lady called
Felicity Keats. Felicity has a vision. She believes that a lot of South Africa's
problems would be solved if our children were led in a positive way by
educating their minds to lead them to a brighter future.
She travels to rural areas where she trains
teachers and children to write using their right brains. It is an established
fact that creativity stems from the right brain. She teaches her delegates how
to switch off the left brain so that the creative right brain can explore its
ideas.
The resultant stories are typed, edited and
printed. The school, area or writing club receives a copy. This copy brings
delight not only to the authors but to the rest of the children in the area as
they know that this book was written by people who can relate to their life.
This project serves two purposes. The first one being encouraging the children
to write creatively and secondly to encourage the children to read.
Felicity is currently assembling an
anthology of work resulting from trainings held in Westville Prison.
It is not for nothing that she received one
of the prestigious Living Legends awards last year.
Just one word: Please don't rush to submit
scripts to Felicity – Felicity only publishes those she trains or has been
instrumental in having them trained.
