I roto i tētahi whare tiaki kaumātua i Omaha, USA, neke atu i te tekau ngā kuia e noho ana i te ara raro e whai ana i tētahi akomanga whakapakari tinana, e neke ana i ō rātou tinana e ai ki ngā tohutohu a te kaiako.
E whā ngā wā i te wiki, mō te toru tau pea.
Ahakoa he pakeke ake i a rātou, kei te noho hoki a Kaiako Bailey i runga i te tūru, e hiki ake ana i ōna ringa ki te tuku tohutohu. Ka tīmata wawe ngā kuia ki te hurihuri i ō rātou ringa, ia tangata, ia tangata e whakapau kaha ana i runga i tā te kaiako i whakaaro ai.
E whakaako ana a Bailey i tētahi akomanga whakapakari tinana 30-meneti te roa i konei i ngā ata katoa o te Mane, te Wenerei, te Taite, me te Rāhoroi.
E ai ki te Washington Post, ko Kaiako Bailey, e 102 tau te pakeke, e noho motuhake ana i te whare kaumātua o Elkridge. E whā ngā wā i te wiki e whakaako ana ia i ngā akomanga whakapakari tinana i te ara raro i te papa tuatoru, ā, e toru tau pea ia e mahi ana i tēnā, engari kāore i whakaaro kia mutu.
I mea atu a Bailey, kua 14 tau e noho ana ki konei: "Kia koroheke ahau, ka reti ahau."
I mea ia ko ētahi o ngā kaiuru tonu he mate rumatiki, e whakawhāiti ana i ā rātou nekehanga, engari ka taea e rātou te mahi i ngā mahi totoro tinana me te whai hua mai i taua mea.
Heoi, i kī a Bailey, he maha hoki ana whakamahi i te anga hikoi, he kaiako tino pakari ia. "Ka tawai mai rātou ki ahau he kino ahau nā te mea i a mātou e whakakori tinana ana, e hiahia ana ahau kia tika tā rātou mahi, kia tika hoki te whakamahi i ō rātou uaua."
Ahakoa tōna pakari, ki te kore rātou e pai ki tēnā, e kore rātou e hoki mai. I mea ia: "Te āhua nei kua mōhio ēnei kōtiro kei te mahi ahau i tētahi mea mā rātou, ā, māku anō hoki tēnā."
I mua, i whai wāhi tētahi tāne ki tēnei akomanga whakapakari tinana, engari i mate ia. Ināianei he akomanga wāhine anake.
Nā te wā o te mate urutā i whakakorikori tinana ai ngā tāngata whenua.
I tīmata a Bailey i tēnei akomanga whakapakari tinana i te tīmatanga o te mate urutā COVID-19 i te tau 2020, ā, i noho motuhake te iwi i roto i ō rātou ake rūma.
I te 99 o ōna tau, he pakeke ake ia i ētahi atu kainoho, engari kāore ia i hoki whakamuri.
I mea ia i hiahia ia kia noho pukumahi, ā, he pai tonu ia ki te whakatenatena i ētahi atu, nō reira i tono ia ki ōna hoa noho kia nukuhia ngā tūru ki te ara raro me te mahi i ngā korikori ngawari me te pupuri tonu i te tawhiti hapori.
Nā reira, i tino koa ngā kainoho ki te mahi whakangungu, ā, kei te mahi tonu rātou i tēnei mahi mai anō.
E whakaako ana a Bailey i tēnei akomanga whakapakari tinana 30-meneti i ia Mane, Wenerei, Taite, me te Hatarei i ngā ata katoa, me te 20 pea ngā totoro tinana mō te tinana o runga me te tinana o raro. Nā tēnei mahi anō hoki i whakakaha ake te whanaungatanga i waenganui i ngā kuia, e manaaki ana tetahi i tetahi.
I ngā wā katoa e whakanuia ana te rā whānau o tētahi kaiuru i te rā o te akomanga whakapakari tinana, ka tunu keke a Bailey hei whakanui. I mea ia i tēnei tau, he huihuinga nui ia rā whānau.
Ka whakamahia te tūru wīra hiko whakangungu haere hei whakangungu whakaora i te hunga e takoto ana i te moenga, ā, he ngoikore te nekenekehanga o ngā waewae o raro. Ka taea te whakawhiti i waenga i te mahi tūru wīra hiko me te mahi āwhina hikoi mā te kī kotahi, ā, he ngāwari ki te whakahaere, he pūnaha parai hikohiko, he parai aunoa i muri i te whakamutu mahi, he haumaru, he kore manukanuka.
