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.

TRANSPORT GUDDAY (The transport issue)

In Ethiopia there are the buses called Anbessa (lion) that are going everywhere in Addis Ababa and arround.
This Busses in certain hours are so incredibly full... may be because are the cheapest transport that one can find.

The company was a owned initially by Haile Selassie, may be that is why are called anbessa, the lion was the symbol of the dinasty of the Ethiopian Kings.

It happens a lot of stories in the buses, from love stories to any other thing you can imagine... There is an Ethiopian writter that have been collecting the stories of the anbessa buses and have published a book with them!!!

If I have time one day I would like to translate a pair for you.
