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.

BUHE

 Every August 19 there is an orthodox holiday called Buhe. Children go from door to door singing a song called hoya hoye, one of them is saying "hoya hoye" and some sentences and the others follow while rhythmically repeating "ho" and some sentences. The people in the houses before used to give them some food, now often give them some money.

At dusk it is customary burn the chibo, some bundle of sticks, is used to burn in neighborhoods where everyone brings their own chibo and then set fire to them.

It is something that children who go to other countries do not have the opportunity to participate, there are many songs on You tube, perhaps could have fun with them!
