In 2012 a group of mothers noticed their children could follow the Amharic service but couldn't read a single line of the song sheet. Tigist Bekele, a former teacher from Bahir Dar, offered to teach fidel on Saturday mornings in the church basement. Nine children came.በ2012 ጥቂት እናቶች ጀመሩት። ዘጠኝ ልጆች መጡ።
This year there are 84 students in six classes, taught by eleven volunteers. Children learn to read and write the 33 base letters and their seven forms, sing in Amharic, and learn the stories their parents grew up with.ዘንድሮ 84 ተማሪዎች፣ ስድስት ክፍሎች።

No. About a third of our families belong to other churches, Orthodox and Protestant.አያስፈልግም።
My child understands Amharic but won't speak it. Is that normal?ልጄ ይረዳል ግን አይናገርም። ይህ የተለመደ ነው?
