| The need for this Naomi
CD-ROM and this site. |
In
Ethiopia’s 3000 history Ethiopians never left their
country in mass till 1980’s .
A
mass exodus has taken place because of political unrest
in Ethiopia.
Most
Ethiopians settled in North America and else where around
the world. Now Children born outside Ethiopia have,
on average, Reached five or six years old. The social
interaction between Ethiopia and the rest of the world
has Also increased dramatically. This combination of
events has created a compelling demand for such a material.
So
far Most Ethiopians has gone through two phases in their
adopted country: Learn and find a place in the new country
and establish a family. Now Ethiopians are facing the
third phase, which is how best to raise their kids Juggling
between providing bread on the table and teach their
kids Ethiopian culture while making them successful
in global environments. On top that shielding their
kids from media and marketing saturated society while
making them gain wisdom out of it.
As
Ethiopian culture is strong and distinct as it is hard
to live without it. Not only because it is adopted as
culture but Ethiopians has built in deep Ethiopia ness
in them.
This
is where this web site and Naomi CD-ROM Comes to play
a major roll. The most secure knowledge based site.
This site initially was created to introduce the CD-ROM
but after extensive research about Ethiopian family
situation in the US request from parents I whom I know
raising kids in the USA, I have added the KIDS CORNER
and PARENTS CORNER which I believe will be extremely
help full both parents and Ethiopian kids.
When
one examines the History of US some times refers as
Immigrants Nation Ethiopians has a lot of advantages
to learn from other Immigrants and benefits from quick
modern mode of communications and easy transport to
Ethiopia. As oppose to old days where a ship took three
month to reach the US shores from Europe even more from
other places.
The
key to teach Ethiopian kids their culture is to teach
them their mother thong Amharic language (the official
language of Ethiopia) and the need to teach their languages
comes from three sources:
·
Listening to kids who grew up in the USA who are 18-28
Years old who already Known their mother thong and those
Who doesn’t know their mother thong.
·
By studying what other immigrant community has to say.
·
By researching what linguist write on this subject.
Please
enjoy this web site most of all let your family and
kids benefit greatly out of it.
