As 60 eager mothers and their little ones gathered at Isivivana Centre in Khayelitsha, the magic of storytelling was brought to life during a fun and educational event by Nal’ibali and Embrace the Movement for Mothers.
Khayelitsha, South Africa (16 October 2024) – In an enriching effort to nurture bonds through love, books and play, Nali’bali hosted a fun-filled Moms and Tots event.
Nal’ibali, a beacon of literacy and storytelling, joined forces with Embrace the Movement for Mothers, a social movement that celebrates the power of motherhood, and hosted the magical event which also sought to embrace their mother tongue.
Together, they created a space where mothers and their young children could bond, learn, and grow.
The Isivivana Centre in Khayelitsha, Cape Town was transformed into a world of wonder, filled with eager little minds and hearts.
Attendees got to enthral themselves in the magic of fictional stories, sparking their imaginations through the experiences of some of their favourite characters.
The captivating stories were brought to life by the enthusiastic Nal’ibali Story-Sparkers and Zazi Show’s Bongo Peteni known by toddlers as Sis’Bongo.
It was colourful, it was fun-filled! But beyond the joy and entertainment, this event was a profound celebration of language, culture, and the power of storytelling.
