Family Life
1. List the members of your family (include name, age, occupation
and grade/level of education):
Father: Getu Mulleta, 30, farmer, finished 3rd grade
Mother: Zenebu Tulu, 25, housewife/farmer, took adult
literacy
Son: Teshome Getu, 10
Daughter: Like Getu, 8
Son: Mamoosh Getu, 7
Daughter: Mulu Getu, 3
Son: Kebebe Getu, 8 months
2. How large a family did each parent come from?
Getu: 9 siblings
Zenebu: 9 siblings
3. How much time does your family spend together at
work and play?
All our time is spent together except when someone leaves to
visit a relative elsewhere. There is basically no time spent
playing--maybe a wedding every once in a while. But still no
breaks because there is so much work.
4. How far do you commute to work or school?
Work: Farmland nearby.
School: School and a small market are about 1 hour
walk away.
5. What kinds of transportation do you use? How much time is
spent in transport?
One horse and 2 donkeys are used mainly to go to market. It
is about 3 hours to the large market, and 1 hour to the smaller
market. Generally we walk.
6. Do you actively practice your religion? How does it affect
your daily life and community?
Yes, we attend church on the days we are supposed to. We
attend the monthly gatherings and strive to live our lives as the church teaches. Only elders attend every Sunday.
