Sandy
Goulding, former educator and published novelist, delivered her keynote address
at the Kempton Park Library gallery as part of Women’s Month Celebrations today
[16 August 2012]. The theme was Empower
Women to Read and End Poverty.
Sandy,
author of Grief’s Bounty, spoke about
the importance of mothers not only reading to young children to prepare them
for school, but also how to empower women as life-long learners. Reading, she
says, will expand their interests in life, human nature and other cultures. Literature
is not only there to entertain us —books are teachers, mentors and
life-coaches.
