Yumbe District Inspectors of Schools at Orthography training workshop.
Abdul is a primary school teacher who has been trained in
using the Aringa Orthography. He was very excited about having school materials
in the Aringa language. He said the books have helped him so much as he teaches
his children who always ask him to read the stories from the ABC Story Book
before they go to sleep. This is what he said...
"The most interesting story they ever ask me to read
is the story about ‘Gabi and his Children.' This story is about the character
of a father who shows favoritism to only one child. They said the story meant a
lot to them and it teaches them that there should never be love for one child
more than the others. The relationship between a father and his children should
be fair to avoid hatred among children who are born of the same parents.
"This made me to see how important it is to have time
with children and the family members. I used to not spend time with my
children, but this book has opened my eyes to see the need for my parental
care. Now there is total respect between us, the parents and the children, so
our joy at home is complete. My children are able to share the little things
they have with their friends. These stories have good moral teachings; I
recommend them for parents and for raising their children and making of a
family."
