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 ETHIOPIAN ALPHABETS

Here the alphabets are very different from the ones used in other languages. First of all every letter means one consonant sound and one vocalic. So it is a syllabic alphabet. Every letter sounds always the same, so it means is a phonetic alphabet.

There are no capital and small letters, and somehow is an alphabet that would like to be written with calm.

If you look the image you can know how it sounds every letter seeing the the sound near it.

A FUNNY GAME FOR YOUR CHILDREN

In this way you can also create secret messages in your own language using the Ethiopian alphabets. It can be a nice way to learn and to teach your child about his or her birth country.
