S6 E9 Adele Botha - Igniting Young Imaginations Through Literacy

from Rumors of Doing Good Hosted by Rob Schellert, Adele Botha

In this episode of Rumors of Doing Good, Rob Schellert talks with Adele Botha, a literacy advocate and founder of the Uyavula Reading and Writing Project in Cape Town and Write2BU in Pretoria, South Africa. From a young age, Adele discovered a love for reading and writing—a passion that has guided her work in empowering children and young people through storytelling, creativity, and literacy. She shares how she started Uyavula with just two children and a handful of books, the growth of the project, and how it has inspired volunteers and transformed communities. After moving to Pretoria, she took her passion in a new direction with Write2BU, helping young people find their voice through creative writing. Join us as Adele reflects on the joys and challenges of nurturing imagination, the role of faith and community in her work, and how small acts of creativity can ripple into meaningful change.
