WHO ARE WE

We are Selam and Andiy. After Natnael passed away we wanted to continue his task of teaching children about their country of origin and helping families to find their stories.
This blog is to teach the children that go abroad something about their birth country and to give to the adoptive parents a way to search the biological family of their child.

Is important what you tell your children about themselves.

THE NEW ETHIOPIA

In the last period, Ethiopia and specially Addis Abeba is changing a lot... some times the city administration change the number of the qebele (neighborhood) or simply they decide that a area of the city have to be demolished to construct new buildings and commercial centers. It makes that the people that was living there move to another area of the city. Before it was easy to go back somewhere and everything, or nearly, was as before, but in this moment is not impossible to find that. Sometimes a large area is completely changed, or simply there is nothing as before.

I would really show pictures of before and now just to make you realize how big is the change, but the past is past and I have no way to show to you. Here above there are two pictures of Addis Abeba, one is a condominium area as now can be seen and the other one is how could look that area before.

TO SEARCH THE FAMILIES

Is just a way to think that in this moment of the country the best way to know the truth or to find the real story of your children is to search within a short time, before everything have change forever.


Normally the people here keep moving and after a while disappear forever. There is no way to find someone that change the living place easily, specially if there is no a mobile number to call to.

  1. Hi, Natnael! You're right it's important to start searching for the origins as soon as possible. Our children deserve to know the truth and we should do our best to find it!
