Workshop to empower the dyslexic
She will share her own encounters and difficulties faced living with this condition
WHITE RIVER – Organisers of the first-ever dyslexia workshop – this Saturday at Hillsview Community Hall – aim to empower various stakeholders and parents of children living with dyslexia.
This is an invisible disability characterised with severe learning difficulties.
Khensani Gibello is a 28-year-mother who cannot read or write, not because she never went to school, but because she is dyslexic – a condition she was born with.
She will share her own encounters and difficulties faced living with this condition.
“We want to raise awareness about this form of disability, hence we invited stakeholders involved with people living with dyslexia,” she said.
Gibello and her colleague, Timothy Mashego, founded the Youth Born Genius, a non-profit organisation which aims to have a database of the number of children living with this condition in the province.
This enables them to persuade government to consider those with dyslexia in terms of skills development and work opportunity.
People who want to attend the workshop, are urged to use sponsored buses to ferry them to and from the White River Community Hall at 08:00.
Enquiries: Khensani on 081-860-4783 or Timothy on 072-818- 7593.
