Hello dear families in Canada! How are you doing? How is everything with you? We all are doing great. We feel so blessed to call you all our families. Thank you for being the best family in the world anyone could ask for.
The April letter you send us was very interesting. There is a lot of similarity how we celebrate birthday parts. The amazing part of the letter is that there is a lot of things to be grateful about ourselves, our family, our health, the presences of other nice people in our life and a million little things that surround and blessed us in a million ways. It is important to notice those blessing and to be grateful. This is the biggest life lessen we learn from this letter.
In this letter we would like to write you about the month of Mango. Yes we have a Month that we called it a Month of Mango, it is because in this month in our city (Harar) Mango will be everywhere and you will see it in every market, in the street, in every shop and even in some household garden. The weather is very comfortable for the fruit to grow and to test like honey. You can get Mango throughout the year in Harar but this month Mango is very delicious, big and colorful. Since a lot of farmers grow Mongo for this month, the cost will be very cheap. All the farmers bring their product to the market and they will sell it with a minimum amount it is because they don’t want to take back the Mango to their village and if it didn’t sell it will not be fresh the next day, plus they have other fresh Mango for the next day. The computation among farmers and the negotiation between the buyers and farmers is other drama we love to watch when our father took us out to the market.
In our shelter we have a family culture in this month, which all of us gather together to eat a lot of Mangos. Our father will buy us a lot of Mango and Kal (our mother) will make us her delicious Mango juice and Mango fruit punch. We help her by washing and cutting the fruit. We all drink the juice and eat the punch. It gives us a special day to spend with together and to have a lot of Mango to enjoy. The least favorite part of this day is cleaning up the mess we make during preparing, drinking and eating but it is always the fun part of the day because we do it with dancing and singing. We will send you some pictures of us spending our Mango day and some pictures of the market, so that you can enjoy the day too.
Do you love how we have this creative culture of ours? We hope you can be with us to have this day all of us together. Stay safe our families and we all love you so much.
