What are their most values possessions? Why?

We thought that their most valued possession would be domestic animals ,family and foods. Their job will be stock farming ,so domestic animals would be necessary to live and work. Family would be most important thing for people. Food would be necessary to live, because we had heard the want of food in Ethiopia before.

 

Oxen are most valuable possession for father and mother because it helps farming and their dung is use as plaster the wall of the house.

What are their wishes for the future? Why?

 We thought wishes for the future would be the growth of  parents’ children. Parents wish children to grow up cheerfully.

 Children wish for the future would be going to school because we thought there are no school near their house.. Besides, we could not find school in this picture and the rate of the ability of reading and writing letter is 35.5parsent in Ethiopia. That’s why we thought that they need school.

 

 

*More animals.. Because they want to increase their income and foods.

*2nd  set of clothes. Because children can’t wear school clothes because of it high cost now.

*Better seed stock to get more foods.

*Farm implements to prove farming.

*Peace in area and in world. Father thought that peace everywhere would enable everywhere to share in life’s bounty
