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.

ENKUTATASH

The 11st of September is in Ethiopia the 1st of Meskerem, the firs Ethiopian month. The people normally make wishes and fix their goals for the New Year.

Normally children (males) make draws of flowers or saints and go door to door offering them. People use to give them some money. With that money they use to buy something special to eat or may be material for the school that will start in a short time.

The girls instead the last day of the year use to carry a kebero, a kind of drum and they go door to door singing traditional songs for Enkutatash and also the people of the houses give them bread or some money.

So,  happy new year, MELKAM ADDIS AMET!!
