Dear Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development,

Library and Agricultural project LAP
Sebokeng Community Project

The community participation and Job creation for the city , The Black Organisations Youth Boy aimed to help the city improve educationally and economically by creating more projects in Sedibeng district .

This include

: SA Pharmacy Management System
: Streetlights projects
: Environmental Health and Safety
: Mphatlalatsane sebokeng theater

Our aim is to build the new Library and Agricultural space in vaal sebokeng area, this is located in a particularly isolated area, not only because it is in the Sebokeng Hostel but also because it is surrounded on three sides by depressions which make it dominate the passage in zone 17 and zone 14 land traffic across the space. For the South Africans, it is also important as a Sebokeng to be on the Southern history route to other countries. These factors, along with Sedibeng dominance of the southern African region , highlight the strategic importance of the hostels and why it was a point of conflict during World War .

Reading is thinking.
Right to read.
The BLACK ORGANISATIONS YOUTH BOY believes all people should have access to books. We are an anti-caste people’s initiative. We are committed to the work of building the movement for a publicly owned, free library system that is accessible to all. Access cannot be built without reference to the history of excluding people from reading. It is important to critique the normalisation of the lack of libraries in South Africa as a first step toward the argument for creation of a public library system.

We have found that many of our members can read words, but do so very slowly. We’ve developed ways to help build reading fluency. Several of the practices we used could be easily adapted for use in schools, even ones with poor teacher:student ratios. They are easy to implement for teachers, research-proven, and all it requires is time, books and commitment.
