Using Poetry to Explore Family History

Benjamin Gott, 2014
As a sixth-grade teacher, I often find that my spring parent-teacher conferences

begin with the same answer to my first question: “So: how does Kevin think things
are going this term?” I will ask. “We don’t know,” Kevin’s parents will say. “He never
talks to us anymore!”
5 Anyone who interacts with middle school students on a regular basis knows the
familiar answer to the question “How was your day?” is usually some combination
of “Fine!” and “Whatever!” As these young men and women experiment with their
desire for independence, they often create distance between themselves and their
families—sometimes a crack, sometimes a chasm.
10 The weekend after my conferences ended, I puzzled over the ways in which I,
an English teacher, could try to bridge this communication gap through a writing
assignment. I realized that one of the benefits of conversations with our family
members is that they allow us access to stories about our past. I later came to
realize that the only way to pass on meaningful pieces of family history was through
15 conversations—the same conversations that my students’ parents said were lacking
in their lives.
A few weeks after our conferences, I introduced a new poetry assignment:

the “family history” poem.
The following week, the final versions of the poems began to roll in. I had no idea
20 what to expect although I had heard from several parents that the assignment had
led to lively discussions and the sharing of stories that ranged from humorous to
tragic. I was not prepared for the sheer power of the poetry I was about to read.

45 a deeper, more meaningful appreciation of the art of poetry while it illuminates the
ways in which their families—and their families’ stories—can help them become the
confident, capable, and connected young men and women they are striving to be.

Educating across nations for a brighter future

OUR MISSION
Give Hope, Fight Poverty (GHFP) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to
foster philanthropy domestically by designing service-learning programs that engage
US students and professionals with rural communities in Swaziland, Africa, and work
5 together to educate, empower and lift orphaned and vulnerable children – particularly
those living in child-headed households – out of poverty.
OUR SERVICE-LEARNING IN SWAZILAND

Whether you are a professional or a student, GHFP invites you to join a team on a
journey to Swaziland in Africa to learn about unknown cultures, and dedicate your time,
10 skills, and labor to a community of orphaned children struggling with poverty,
HIV/AIDS, and illiteracy. These trips are tailored to meet the needs of the local Africans
while remaining mindful of your skills and expertise: education, engineering, healthcare,
counseling, and art and design.
This journey will offer:

15 – immersion in rural villages ravaged by HIV/AIDS, poverty, and illiteracy.
– an opportunity to become engaged with a very different culture, thereby
encouraging the development of cultural competence.
– interaction with children who are dealing with the grief of losing their parents
while, oftentimes, also dealing with the burden of raising their younger brothers
20 and sisters.
– a means of experiencing the dramatic beauty of a country that has not been affected
by pollution and industrialization.
– an opportunity to teach at rural, impoverished, and poorly resourced primary and
secondary schools.
25 – hands-on experiences at clinics, orphanages, and much more.
UPCOMING EVENTS IN THE US… YOU’RE INVITED!

– November 6th: “Experience Hope” art and photo exhibition, at Athenaeum
ArtSpace in Indianapolis from 6pm–9pm
– January 17th: HamBINGO at Hamburger Mary’s in Chicago from 8pm–9:30pm
30 OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED DOMESTICALLY

Invite GHFP to speak at your school or community event
Help us spread the word!! Invite a GHFP staff member or volunteer to speak at your
school, or community event. This event can be designed as an information booth/
session or a structured lecture on global health and how you can get involved.
– 11 – M17/2/ABENG/HP1/ENG/TZ0/XX/T
35 Host a “Painting for a Purpose” event
A “Painting for a Purpose” party is a great way

to help GHFP spread the word and have fun in
the process! Art teachers will bring all of the
supplies necessary for you and your friends to
40 paint “masterpieces” (no artistic skills required!).
Each participant will paint either a canvas for an
orphan or a piece of a mural that will be hung in
our school classrooms in Swaziland! This event
requires a donation of $25 per person and is
45 currently only available in some cities in the United States.
Coordinate a donation drive
Join efforts at school, or work to organize a donation drive for the orphans!
Donations are always needed and will be collected prior to each international mission.
On behalf of our orphans, GHFP would be thrilled to receive any school items, such as
50 backpacks and art supplies.
