Mom when you get older am I supposed to take care of you?

Last night my 8 year old son walked to me while I was preparing dinner.  He looked in my eyes and asked,  "Mommy, when you get older am I supposed to take care of you"
Mom: Its up to you.
Son: Do you take care of your mom?
Mom: Yes, but not as much as I think I need to.
Son: Is it a lot of work to take care of us and your mom?
Mom: Yea, but its ok. Beside you're getting old. For examples, I don't have to give you a bath or feed you like when you were a baby. Soon you will be able to cook and clean your room.
Son: Ran to his room, cleaned out his room like I have never seen before :)

Seriously his room was too clean I had to say wow, wow more than five times. I could tell he took pride in cleaning his room too.

A pick from Namibia Youth Book Fair

When we first started we met at least once every week, we discussed, debated, agreed disagreed. In a nutshell we found the solutions to making this event a memorable one. Slowly the message was sent out in a form of a press release, we went on TV, Radio and Sent the message via the newspaper.
Few days before the book fair Yambeka Children Media with UNESCO,  American Cultural Center and the Spanish Embassy went to visit schools and read stories to children!

 After the stories the children were encouraged to write their own stories!

There were many activities from Story telling, book launches, writing workshop, Educational workshop. A good number of people came to the book fair. But I believe that we still have  a long way to go. Dear parents, its important to start buying books to your children before they can say a word!
