I-Incredible Edible Community Garden inenxaxheba enkulu kwintlanganiso yothethathethwano yoluntu ngoFebruwari 2015.
Amagqabi eza kwimilo emininzi kunye nemibala, kodwa ezo zinikwe umsebenzi wokukhusela kunye nokuzigcina azibonakalisi iyantlukwano efanayo, ngokophando lwakutsha nje.
"Isimo seNtlukwano kwiMibutho yeNdalo: Ii-NGOs eziphambili, iZiseko, ii-Arhente zikaRhulumente" eziqhutywa nguDorceta E. Taylor, Ph. D. weYunivesithi yaseMichigan's School of Natural Resources & Environment (SNRE) yakhululwa ngoJulayi 2014. Ifumene ukuba ngelixa ezinye iintshukumo zenziwe kwiminyaka eyi-50 edlulileyo, uninzi lweendima zobunkokeli kule mibutho yabamhlophe zisabanjwa.
UGqr. Taylor uye wafunda imibutho yolondolozo neyolondolozo eli-191, ii-arhente zikarhulumente zendalo esingqongileyo ezingama-74, kunye neziseko ezingama-28 ezenza isibonelelo sendalo esingqongileyo. Ingxelo yakhe ikwaquka ulwazi olufunyenwe kudliwano-ndlebe oluyimfihlo kunye neengcali zezendalo ezingama-21 ezibuzwe ngemeko yeyantlukwano kumaziko abo.
Ngokwengxelo, eyona nzuzo inkulu ibonwe ngabasetyhini abamhlophe. Uphononongo lufumene ukuba abafazi bathatha ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sezikhundla zobunkokeli ze-1,714 ezifundwe kwimibutho yolondolozo kunye nokugcinwa. Abasetyhini nabo bamele ngaphezu kwe-60% yabaqeshwa abatsha kunye nabaqeqeshwayo kuloo mibutho.
Amanani athembisa, kodwa uphando lufumene ukuba kusekho "i-gap ebalulekileyo yesini" xa kuziwa kwizikhundla ezinamandla kakhulu kwimibutho yokusingqongileyo. Umzekelo, ngaphezu kwe-70% yomongameli kunye noosihlalo bebhodi yebhodi yolondolozo kunye nemibutho yolondolozo ngamadoda. Ngaphaya koko, ngaphezulu kwe-76% yoomongameli bemibutho eyenza izibonelelo zendalo ngamadoda.
Ingxelo iphinde yaqinisekisa ukuba khona "kwesilingi eluhlaza," ifumanisa ukuba kuphela i-12-16% yemibutho yendalo efundwayo ibandakanya abancinci kwiibhodi zabo okanye abasebenzi ngokubanzi. Ukongeza, iziphumo zibonisa ukuba aba basebenzi bagxininiswe kumanqanaba asezantsi.
UKUBEKELA PHAMBILI UPHUHLISO LWEENTLOBO
URyan Allen, uMphathi weeNkonzo zokusiNgqongileyo kwiZiko loLutsha laseKoreatown kunye neZiko loLuntu (I-KYCC) eLos Angeles, ithi ayimangalisi into yokuba bambalwa abantu bebala abamelwe kwii-arhente eziqhelekileyo kunye nemibutho.
“Ngenxa yemiceli mngeni abantu abambalwa abajongene nayo eMelika, kuyaqondakala ukuba okusingqongileyo akukhange kujongwe njengesizathu esingxamisekileyo sokuma,” utshilo u-Allen.
U-Edgar Dymally – iLungu leBhodi lemibutho engenzi nzuzo Abantu bomthi – uyavuma. Uthi uninzi lwabambalwa lugxininise ekufikeleleni ngokulinganayo kubulungisa bentlalo kunye nokoyisa ucalucalulo lwezindlu kunye nengqesho kunokulingana kokusingqongileyo.
UGqr Taylor ugcina ukuba ukwahluka okwandisiweyo kuya kuthetha ukwanda kokugxila kwimiba kunye neenkxalabo ezijongene nabantu bemibala kunye namanye amaqela angamelwanga.
“Kufuneka ube nelizwi lomntu wonke etafileni, ukuze ube nokuqonda ngokupheleleyo iimfuno zoluntu ngalunye,” utshilo u-Allen.
Abatyali bemithi bathi molo kwiSithili soShishino saseKYCC ngoFebruwari ka-2015.
"Amaqela amaninzi okusingqongileyo abeka umzamo omkhulu ekusebenzeni kwimivuzo ephantsi kunye noluntu oluncinci, kuba ngokuqhelekileyo apho iimfuno ezinkulu zokusingqongileyo zikhona," u-Allen waqhubeka. “Ndicinga ukuba ukuqhawuka konxibelelwano kungena ekungayiqondi ngokupheleleyo indlela yokunxibelelana nomsebenzi owenzayo nabantu ozama ukubakhonza. I-KYCC ityala imithi emininzi eMzantsi Los Angeles, indawo enkulu yaseHispanic kunye ne-Afrika-yaseMelika, ingeniso ephantsi yoluntu. Sithetha ngeengenelo zomoya ococekileyo, ukubanjwa kwamanzi esiphango kunye nokonga amandla, kodwa mhlawumbi eyona nto abantu abayikhathaleleyo yindlela imithi eza kunceda ngayo ukwehlisa izinga le-asthma.
Izinto ezenziwa ngamaqela amancinci, iingcali zigcina, zinokuphinda zenziwe yimibutho emikhulu ukuze ibe nempembelelo enkulu ngakumbi.

"Ndicinga ukuba ukuqhawuka konxibelelwano kuza ekungayiqondi ngokupheleleyo indlela yokunxibelelana nomsebenzi owenzayo nabantu ozama ukubakhonza."

“I-KYCC isebenza neentsapho ezininzi ezisandul’ ukufudukela kwelinye ilizwe, kwaye oko kuza nemiqobo emininzi yolwimi nokungaqondi inkcubeko entsha. Ngenxa yoku siqesha abasebenzi abanokuthetha ulwimi lwabathengi esibasebenzelayo - abayiqondayo inkcubeko abaphuma kuyo. Oku kusivumela ukuba sigcine inkqubo yethu ifanelekile kuluntu esilusebenzelayo, kwaye kukwasigcina sinxibelelane.
“Ngokuvumela uluntu ukuba lusixelele into oluyidingayo, kwaye emva koko sibancede bahlangabezane naloo mfuno, siyazi ukuba iinkqubo esiziqhubayo zenza impembelelo entle kubathengi bethu,” utshilo uAllen.
UKWAMKELELA INDLELA EHLANGANISAYO
Iingcinga zakhe zabelwana ngazo nguMary E. Petit, uMseki kunye noMlawuli oyiNtloko we-Incredible Edible Community Garden (IECG), esekelwe kwi-Southern California.
"Ukwahlukana yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yokuqinisekisa amandla kunye nokuphila ixesha elide kungekhona nje kuphela imibutho yokusingqongileyo kodwa yonke imibutho," kusho uPetit.
“Iqinisekisa ukuba siyazivavanya iinkqubo zethu sisebenzisa iilensi ezibanzi. Kusigcina sinyanisekile. Ukuba sijonga indalo, eyona ndawo isempilweni kwaye ilungeleleneyo, indalo eyomeleleyo yendalo zezo zahluke kakhulu.
“Kodwa ukuze kwamkelwe iyantlukwano kunye namandla anokunika umbutho, abantu kufuneka bavuleleke kwaye bangakhethi cala, hayi ngamazwi kuphela kodwa ngendlela abantu abaphila ngayo ubomi babo,” uqhubeke watsho.
U-Eleanor Torres, uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-Incredible Edible Community Garden uthi walishiya ibala lokusingqongileyo ngo-2003 emva kokuphoxeka. Wabuya ngo-2013 kwaye nangona wayevuyiswa kukubona “igazi elitsha” kulo mbutho, uthi kusekho umsebenzi ekusafuneka wenziwe.
“Ayikatshintshi kakhulu. Kufuneka kubekho utshintsho olukhulu ekuqondeni,” uqhube watsho. "Kumahlathi asezidolophini, kuya kufuneka ujongane nabantu bebala."
UTorres, ongumLatina kunye noMthonyama waseMelika, wangena kwintsimi kwi-1993 kwaye unesabelo sakhe sokuba "ngowokuqala" okanye "kuphela" umntu webala kwisikhundla sobunkokeli. Uthi imiba yobuhlanga, ukucalula ngokwesini kunye nokwahlula ngokweendidi zisafuna ukuqwalaselwa phambi kokuba kubekho utshintsho lokwenene.
Intlanganiso yebhodi ye-TreePeople ibamba abameli abavela kwiindawo ezininzi zokuhlala.
UDymally ube lilungu leBhodi yeTreePeople iminyaka esibhozo. Injineli yezobuchwephesha, umsebenzi wakhe wosuku njengeNgcali ePhezulu yokusiNgqongileyo kwiSithili saManzi seMetropolitan eMazantsi eCalifornia (I-MWD). Uthi udibana nabantu abambalwa bebala kwiindima zobunkokeli eziphezulu.
"Zikhona, kodwa azininzi," wabelana naye.
UDymally wajoyina i-TreePeople ngesicelo selinye ilungu leBhodi kuphela elinombala, ongumHispanic. Wabongozwa ukuba asebenze ngakumbi kwaye abandakanyeke, ubukhulu becala kuba bekungekho baninzi abantu bebala abamelweyo. Ukuba "ngamnye, afikelele kwingqondo enye", utshilo uDymally, ikhuthazwa nguMseki wombutho kunye noMongameli uAndy Lipkis, omhlophe.
UDymally uthe angathanda ukubona abenzi bomgaqo-nkqubo kunye nabenzi bomthetho ngokufanayo bamkela iinzame zokwandisa iyantlukwano.
"Banokumisela ithoni kwaye bazise amandla kulo mzabalazo."
UKUPHILA – NOKUSHIYA – ILIFA
UDymally ngumtshana walowo wayesakuba nguLt. Gov. uMervyn Dymally waseCalifornia, ongowokuqala nokuphela komntu oNtsundu ukusebenza kweso sikhundla. UDymally omncinci walatha kwimpumelelo kamalume wakhe ongasekhoyo ekufumaneni abantu abambalwa abamelwe kwiiBhodi zaManzi kwilizwe liphela.
"Ngokuqinisekileyo ndingathanda ukubona uMongameli, okanye umntu okwiprofayile yakhe, mhlawumbi iNenekazi lokuQala, elandela le nzame," utshilo uDymally.
Inenekazi lokuqala u-Michelle Obama, wongezelela, ube yintshatsheli yezondlo kunye nokudalwa kwegadi kwaye unokwenza okufanayo ekukhuthazeni imfuno yokuzisa abantu abahlukeneyo kunye neembono kwitafile yendalo esingqongileyo.
The “Imeko Yeyantlukwano Kwimibutho Yendalo Engqongileyo” Ingxelo ithi lo mba ufuna "ingqwalasela ephambili" kwaye yenza izindululo "kwimizamo engqongqo" kwiinkalo ezintathu-ukulandela umkhondo kunye nokungafihli, uxanduva kunye nezibonelelo.
Uxwebhu olunamaphepha ali-187 lufundeka ngolu hlobo: “Iingxelo zokwahluka ngaphandle kwesicwangciso kunye nokuqokelelwa kwedatha ngokungqongqo ngamagama nje asephepheni.
“Imibutho kunye nemibutho kufuneka iqalise ulwahlulo lonyaka kunye novavanyo olubandakanyayo. Ukubhengeza kufuneka kuququzelele ukwabelana ngezicwangciso-qhinga zokujongana nomkhethe ongekho zingqondweni kunye nokuphucula ukufunwa kwabantu ngaphaya kweklabhu yangaphakathi eluhlaza,” iqhubeka.
Ingxelo iphinda ibonise ukuba iziseko, ii-NGOs kunye nee-arhente zikarhulumente zidibanisa iinjongo zokwahluka ekuvavanyeni ukusebenza kunye neendlela zokwenza izibonelelo, ukuba izibonelelo ezongeziweyo zabelwe amanyathelo ahlukeneyo okusebenza, kunye nokuba inkxaso-mali ezinzileyo ibonelelwe kwinethiwekhi ukunciphisa ukuhlukaniswa kunye nokuxhasa iinkokeli ezikhoyo zombala.

"Kufuneka ube nelizwi lomntu wonke etafileni, ukuze uqonde ngokupheleleyo iimfuno zoluntu ngalunye."

“Andiqinisekanga ukuba yintoni enokwenziwa enokuthi ikhawuleze ingenise abantu abambalwa kwiindima zobunkokeli, kodwa ukuzisa ulwazi oluthe kratya kunye nemfundo kulutsha lwasekuhlaleni, ukunceda ukukhuthaza isizukulwana esilandelayo seenkokeli, kuya kuba linyathelo lokuqala elilungileyo,” utshilo u-Allen.
“Kufuneka iqale kwinqanaba lesikolo,” utshilo uDymally, ephinda uluvo kwaye esalatha kwiinzame zokufikelela zoluntu zeTreePeople.
Iinkqubo zentlangano zokufundisa ngemekobume zikhuthaza abafundi nabafundisi-ntsapho abakwisikolo samabanga aphantsi nesamabanga aphakamileyo kummandla waseLos Angeles ukuba “bembe,” bafunde iingenelo zokukhulisa amahlathi asezidolophini, baze babe ngabanyamekeli bemekobume ubomi babo bonke.
“Kwi-10, 15, 20 iminyaka, siza kubona abanye baba bantu baselula bejikeleza (umbutho kunye nentshukumo),” utshilo uDymally.
UKUBEKA UMZEKELO
U-Dymally uthi ukungabikho kweyantlukwano kunokuchazwa, ngokuyinxenye, kuba akukho bantu baninzi bemibala kwindawo yokusingqongileyo ukuqala.
“Inokubonisa nje amanani abandakanyekayo,” utshilo.
Kuye kwathiwa xa ulutsha oluncinane lubona iingcali “ezifana nabo” kwinkalo ethile, kokukhona lufuna ukuba njalo “xa lukhulile.” Ukubona oogqirha base-Afrika baseMelika kunokukhuthaza abantwana base-Afrika baseMelika ukuba bacinge ngesikolo sobugqirha. Ukuba namagqwetha adumileyo eLatino kuluntu kunokukhuthaza ulutsha lwaseLatino ukuba luhambe isikolo somthetho okanye luqhubele phambili eminye imisebenzi yezomthetho. Ukuvezwa kunye nokufikelela ngundoqo, kwabelwana ngo-Dymally.
U-Dymally uthi abantu abaninzi bemibala, abantu base-Afrika-baseMelika ngokukodwa, banokungajongi ibala lokusingqongileyo njengomsebenzi onomtsalane okanye onengeniso.
Indawo yokusingqongileyo “lubizo” kwabaninzi, utshilo, kwaye ngenxa yoko, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba abantu bebala bathathe iindima zobunkokeli babe “ngabantu abanomdla,” abaza kunceda ukuzisa izixhobo kubantu abaninzi kwaye baqhubele phambili intshukumo yamahlathi edolophu yaseCalifornia kwixesha elizayo.
