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.

PLAYING WORDS

Children are almost all the day playing. I think is so useful to have some words ready to play. I think in this case I should do a kind of phrasebook, is much easier to be able to use than the word itself.

ENECHAWET                                                               let’s play
ENERUT                                                                        Let’s run
MEROT TEWEJALESH/TEWEDALEH?                      Do you like to run (female)/(male)
MECHAWET TEFELEGIALESH/TEFELEGALEH?     Do you want to play (female)/(male)
KWAS                                                                           Ball
MEDENES TEWEJALESH/TEWEDALEH?                 Do you like to dance (female)/(male)
GEMED                                                                         Rope


I hope it can be useful to play a little bit!

LOCUST CLOUD

Yesterday afternoon in Addis Ababa there was a cloud of locust that covered the sky of the city. I haven't seen anything similar before in my entire life.

Here you have a picture of one of them to let you have an idea of shat king of animals they are. I couldn't take good pictures of the cloud, but it would be interesting.
