Intsapho yaseKirkby kwi-Big Crazy Family Adventure . (Umjelo woKhenketho) Abantu abaninzi bayoyika ukuthatha abantwana babo kuhambo olufutshane kwaye ukucinga nje kohambo olude kuyabakhubaza. AyinguBruce Kirkby kunye noChristine Pitkanen. Baye bagqiba kwelokuba bathathe amakhwenkwe abo amabini, u-Bodi, i-7 kunye ne-Taj, i-3, kwi-epic ye-13,000 yeemayile ukusuka eBritish Columbia ukuya eKarsha Gompa, indawo esecaleni yeemonki eseLadakh, eIndiya. Kwaye, ukongeza nje ukonwaba kolu hambo, usapho luthathe isigqibo sokwenza ngaphandle kokuthatha inqwelomoya. Ewe, akunjalo akukho ukuhamba komoya konke konke.
Umboniso weTshaneli yoKhenketho Ukonwaba kweNtsapho enkulu ilandela usapho lakwaKirkby kuhambo lweentsuku ezingama-96 njengamava amane wesimanga seLizwe, imihlaba ebanzi, imozulu ecelomngeni kunye noluntu olwahlukileyo kwezinye zezona ndawo zikwanti emantla.
UBruce noChristine babehambe kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba babe nabantwana kwaye baqhubeka bekwenza oko emva kokuba bobabini oonyana babo bezile, bathatha uBodi baya eYurophu nasePatagonia naseTaj kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseGeorgia.
Bathe bakuqala ukulucinga olu hambo, uBruce uthi yena noChristine baqonda ukuba ngoku kwaye aluzange. Sijonge nje kwaye sijonga ukuba asiyenzi ngoku, uyazi, nini eliza kubakho ixesha elingcono, uyavuma uBruce.
Ukuthatha uhambo olunamabhongo kunye nabantwana ngokuqinisekileyo kukhokelele kwimicimbi engalindelekanga, kodwa usapho lwakwazi ukuyithatha yonke indlela ngokusebenzisa ubuchule obubonakala ngathi bubudenge, ukuba ucinga nyani ngayo. Ngengqondo eqhelekileyo umceli mngeni uhlala ufumana ukutya okwaneleyo kunye nokulala. Leyo yayiyeyona nto iphambili kuthi kodwa, kunjalo ekhaya, utsho uChristine. Ngokubhekisele kwimiceli mngeni ngakumbi, uChristine uthi ukutya okunezinongo kunye nobushushu zezona ngxaki ziphambili kubantwana. Umfana wethu omncinci wayeneminyaka emithathu kuphela kwaye kwakunzima ngenene xa yayikuphela kokutya ababenako. Ndiya kuqinisekisa ukuba ndibetha ivenkile kwaye ndizama ukufumana amashwamshwam amancinci okanye ndizame ukufumana izandla zam kwisonka okanye irayisi nje elula; into awayenokuyitya eyayingena ziqholo. Ngokubhekisele kubushushu obonyukayo, uChristine uyabalisa, Ngamanye amaxesha bekukhubazeka nje, ukuya kuthi ga kwi-110 emini, ke kuye kwafuneka siqiniseke ukuba abantwana banamanzi nyhani, ukuze sibangenise umoya opholileyo xa sikwazi, kwaye bebengekho ngaphandle kobushushu bemini ukuba kunokwenzeka.
Unyana omdala uBodi ukwisimo se-autism kwaye ngenxa yoko uneemfuno ezizodwa zomntu ngamnye. Ufuna ixesha elithile losuku ngalunye. Ke enye yezona zinto kuye kwafuneka sisebenze kuzo, utsho uChristine. Ke suku ngalunye siqinisekisa ukuba unethuba elithile elithe cwaka eyedwa kuba oko kubaluleke kakhulu kuye.
Ngelixa sonke sisazi ukuba abantwana bayanyibilika, uBruce noChristine bayavuma ukuba basondele ekuweni kwabo amaxesha ngamaxesha. UChristine ubalisa ngesinye sezo zihlandlo. Sasihamba ngesikhephe esibi kakhulu ngaxa lithile. Kwakushushu kakhulu kwaye kwafuneka silale phantsi apho yayiqhuba khona injini yedizili. Kwakunganyamezeleki kwaye ndandifana, ‘senza ntoni?’ Abantwana bayalila, babenomsindo, bengakwazi ukulala, kwaye babenuka umsi wedizili. Kwakukubi nje. Uninzi lohambo lwalumnandi kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ndandinamaxesha ambalwa xa ndandifana, 'Ndifuna ukuba lendawo iphele.'
Ukhuseleko aluzange lube yingxaki kusapho, utshilo uBruce, kodwa babekhathazekile xa kufikwa kwinto enokubonakala ngathi ayiqhelekanga-ukugcwala. Ewe, ukugcwala naphi na emhlabeni akunakoyikisa. Elinye ixesha endizifumanisa ndihlala ndilumkile ngalo lonke ixesha yayikukuhamba kwezi ndlela zasemva zazincinci kwaye zigcwele ngabantu bezungeza i-moped. Kum yayiyeyona nto yoyikekayo.
Ukuvumelana noBruce, uChristine wagxuma wangena naye, Owu, ewe, ngoku xa usizisa, ndiyakhumbula ndiqhuba ngeNepal kwezinye zeendlela zeentaba ezinamawa aphakameyo kwaye umqhubi wayejikeleza ejikeleza ethatha iimbombo ezibanzi kwaye nezinto ezinjalo. Ndingathi yeyona nto yayingakhuselekanga endandiziva ngayo.
Ukuqhubeka nokuhamba kakuhle, ukuzisa isixa esifanelekileyo sezinto ngaphandle kokugqithisa kwakunyanzelekile. Kuhlala kunzima ukupakisha naluphi na uhambo, kodwa kokukhona usenza yonke into ibenzima, uyavuma uBruce. Ke sizise iimpahla ezishushu nezibandayo, ezinye iincwadi kunye nezinto zokuzoba zabantwana kwaye kunjalo nezinye izinto zoncedo lokuqala. Kwaye wosula. Sula ngokuqinisekileyo. UChristine wongeze ukuba abantwana bavunyelwe ukuba beze nezinto ezimbalwa ngokunjalo. Sisoloko sibavumela amakhwenkwe ethu ukuba eze nezinto zawo ezizodwa 'ezixineneyo' ngoko ke kufana nokuzisa isiqwenga sekhaya, kunye nephepha lepensile eligcwele naziphi na izinto zokudlala abanokuzilingana kwityala lepensile.
Ebuzwa malunga nokuzisa naziphi na izixhobo ze-elektroniki, uChristine uyavuma ukuba esi sibini siyithengile i-iPad yohambo. Ngokucacileyo siya kulinciphisa ixesha elichithwe ngabantwana kunye nalo, kodwa ukuba besithanda iiyure ezili-12 zokuqhuba singabavumela ukuba benze ixesha lescreen. Besilayisha iinkqubo zemfundo kuyo, kodwa bekukho ezinye ezidlala ngokulula kuyo.
Ngokucacileyo ukukhapha usapho kuhambo yayikukusebenza kweefilimu ezithatha i-adventure yeThe Travel Channel. Bebenathi lonke ixesha kwaye bekuthatha ixesha lokundiqhela nabantwana, utsho uChristine. 'Unxibe imakrofoni ephethe ipakethi ngalo lonke ixesha kunye neentsuku ezithile ebezingumceli mngeni kubantwana, kodwa ubukhulu becala, besisenza nje into yethu kwaye emva kwethutyana uphantse ulibale ukuba bakhona.
Ngaphandle kokupakisha, abasebenzi kunye neemeko ezingathandekiyo ngamanye amaxesha, usapho luye lwafumanisa ukuba lwenze iinkumbulo ezintle apha endleleni. Zininzi izinto ezenzekileyo kolu hambo ezaziphambene kwaye zingakholeleki, ityhila uChristine. Ukubukela abantwana bam bebona iinkawu okokuqala. Ukubabukela bekhwela indlovu okokuqala. Izinto ezinje-ukuzibona ngamehlo abo-ezo yayizizinto eziphambili kum. UBruce wongeza, ngokubona indlela abafana ababezimanya ngayo kunye nabahlobo. Babengakwenzi nje oko ekhaya kwaye ndiziva ngathi oluhambo lubadibanisile ngendlela ngebengazange bahlangane ngenye indlela.
Olu hambo luye lwanika ithuba elinye lokufundisa usapho lonke, utshilo uChristine. Sabona kakhulu. Amakhwenkwe abona iinkcubeko ezahlukeneyo, afunda ngejografi, kwaye ahambela kumazwe angazange ave ngaphambili. Yonke loo nto ixabiseke kakhulu. Yonke le nto, yonke into, ibifanele.
Ukonwaba kweNtsapho enkulu Inkulumbuso ngeCawa, nge-21 kaJuni nge-9: 00 pm e / p kwiShaneli yokuHamba.
