(c)a visit to an institution for children with special needs

[lo 5.3.2, 4.1.1]

  • Many people who have fought for human rights feel strongly about their responsibility to help the less fortunate, so we can certainly look to them as role models. These are the people we should be praising for their outstanding achievements and their role in their communities and in South Africa as a whole.
  • You need to use various research methods to find information to present the following:

a) A profile of one of the Checkers’ Woman of the Year Award winners.

b) A description of a day in the life of a person such as Nelson Mandela, who is well known for his humanitarian work, his interest in community affairs and education and much more.

c) A visit to an institution to make a list of possible needs and make a proposal of how the community could become involved.

Preparatory Activities for Presentation of Career Choice

1. Visit your library to find the relevant newspapers or go onto the Internet to find the names of the Checkers’ Woman of the Year finalists and choose the one you wish to write about. Give a brief background, her specific field and her role in the community. Explain why she was nominated and why she deserved to be a finalist. Notice how she is able to balance her rights with her responsibilities.

2. Decide on a humanitarian such as Nelson Mandela or a community member who is involved in the community. You need to contact this person’s office to establish their involvement in different areas or you can once again go to a library and study old newspapers. Then draw up a possible schedule for that person.

3. Establish which institutions are in your vicinity and which you may be able to visit. For example, a school for children with special needs, an orphanage for Aids victims, a home for the elderly, a hospice, a clinic, a crèche … the possibilities are endless. Give suggestions to your teacher so that she can arrange a visit. You can then see firsthand what the needs are.
