Frewoini: "My friends Abeba and Genet who work for the government office on their lunch break after a busy morning. They always eat together as in our culture it is rude to eat alone. Lunch break is a time to socialise and catch-up with things."

Sr Medhin: "She is not a blood relative but we look after her and she is like our mother. She's talking to me, we are close. I like her hat, she makes me laugh."

Alem: "Nigus visiting his mum and aunt, chatting and drinking our cultural drink 'Mes'. 'Mes' is made from honey and is alcoholic. It's prepared at home usually for special occassions and holidays. Nigus is a lucky person because he has his elderly members of his family.

It's not common to have elderly family members in most parts of Ethiopia. People often die young and when I see Nigus sitting in the middle with his aunt and mother that are elderly it's a wonderful scene."
