Ukuxhasa ubugcisa bendawo yinto endiye - kwaye, ngokwandisa, i-LittlePod - kudala ndiyenza. Lo ngunyaka owodwa kubugcisa basekhaya e-East Devon njengoko siphawula iminyaka engama-20 yeFarringdon Society of Arts. Iqela leLittlePod kwaye ndiyazingca ngokuba ukuxhasa indawo yethu yobugcisa bengingqi kwakhona ngo-2024…

Ininzi into ekufuneka siyibhiyozele!

Emuva ngo-2004, xa oku kwaqala, bambalwa abantu baseFarringdon abasebenzisa i-imeyile. Ayinguye wonke umntu owayeneselfowuni. Ndandingenayo enye.

Xa ndandiqala ukuba nombono wokuseka uluntu lwezobugcisa lwasekuhlaleni eFarringdon, ndafikelela ekufumaneni bonke abantu abanetalente elalini. Ekuhambeni kwexesha, saseka ikomiti eyayiza kudibana kanye ngenyanga kwigumbi lam lokutyela.

Ininzi italente yobugcisa elalini...

Kuloo komiti kwakukho uBarnaby Edwards - umdlali weqonga, umbhali, umsasazi wezobugcisa, usomashishini weencwadi ezirekhodiweyo kunye nokunye okuninzi, umntu omnye phakathi kwethu owayekwikomiti yombutho wezobugcisa ngaphambili, kunye nomyili welogo yeFSA esayisebenzisayo nanamhlanje; U-Alex Thompson, umpheki omangalisayo kunye nenjineli, kunye ne-milliner eneleyibhile yakhe yomnqwazi, owayefunda kwiKholeji yoBugcisa yase-Chelsea; U-Alana Sayers, igcisa lelaphu elinetalente elalifunde eCamberwell College of Arts; UVivien Barnes, umyili wobume bezakhiwo, owaqhuba ishishini lakhe; kunye nam, owayesakuba ngutitshala wesikolo samabanga aphantsi, owayeza kuqhubeka efumana iLittlePod.

Xa ndikhangela emva ngoku, kwiminyaka engama-20 kamva, ndikufumanisa kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba ndiye ndakwazi ukuqokelela intaphane yabantu abayila ngolo hlobo besuka kwidolophana encinane eMpuma Devon!

Kwasekuqaleni, iFSA yayinomoya wobungcali ngayo. Senze ipowusta yethu yokuqala kwaye safikelela kwabanye elalini, sibacela ukuba babelane ngezinto abazithandayo.

Mininzi imisitho yobugcisa yasekuhlaleni...

Siye savelisa inkqubo yeziganeko, esathi sayithumela kuyo yonke iminyango yaseFarringdon. Kwakukho iintetho zobugcisa kunye nemiboniso, imidlalo, iikonsathi kunye nezinye iziganeko zomculo. Kanye ngenyanga kangangeminyaka emihlanu, sasiba nevenkile yokutyela kwiholo yelali. Bekukho isidlo sangokuhlwa kunye neziganeko zokuphela konyaka, kunye neeklasi zokupeyinta, ukudanisa, ukwenza imvakalelo kunye nokunye. Ngesinye isihlandlo, saba negcisa lokuhlala unyaka wonke, kunye negcisa labantwana-lihlala. Sade saqhuba owethu umnyhadala weentsuku ezimbini kwilali yonke.

Ngo-2009, i-Guide Dogs Association yavula umboniso wethu wobugcisa, njengoko kubonisiwe kule filimu imfutshane. U-Emma wayesenze kwimveliso yethu ye Ukungcwatywa eThebes kunye noHazel Johnson, umfundi olungiselela ukuya kwiSikolo soBugcisa saseCamberwell, bapeyinta umfanekiso wakhe. UHazel walifaka ibali likaEmma kwibraille ukuze lonwabele wonke umntu.

Njengoko umntu wathi kwifilimu eveliswe ukubhiyozela iminyaka emibini ye-FSA, 'Kukho izinto eziqhubekayo eFarringdon oya kuya eLondon!'

Ngo-2010, ubuGcisa nezeMpilo kuMzantsi Ntshona wagunyazisa ingxelo ngezobugcisa kuluntu. Iziphumo zazinika umdla, zafumanisa ukuba kuluntu olwaluneziko lenkcubeko, abantu baphila ixesha elide kwaye bafumana iingxaki ezimbalwa zempilo yengqondo. Eyona nto yayimangalisa kakhulu kukuba ezi zibonelelo zisebenza kubo bonke - kungakhathaliseki ukuzinyaswa okanye ukuthatha inxaxheba kwimisitho. Inyani nje yobukho bobugcisa yanele.
