Hello my name is Betty Bright,
I love books, I love reading and I love
the story of Huberta. Did you know it is a true South African story? It happened more than 80 years ago. You are
going to enjoy this journey with Huberta - it is a fascinating story. She walked more than 1000 kilometres
from St Lucia Estuary to the Keiskamma River near Peddie.
I want to tell
you how very important it is to be able to read and write. When you are able to
read and write (it is called literacy) you will discover a wonderful world in
books. “What has literacy got to do with this story?” you may ask.
Well, in the story of Huberta’s journey
you will learn what happens when you cannot read or write. Besides the story there
are other exciting things on this blog. From a
project, to the archives and, a picture of Huberta you can print and colour in and keep!
Are you ready?
Betty Bright
