Respect - Makuei Aken
As child of a African parents I was taught to respect my elders. The people that are really bigger than you, you show respect by calling them Uncle or Grandparents.
It is not because our parents are strict on us; it is a way of showing discipline to children, and showing how to behave in public and around you, too. Our great, great grandparents were brought up like that, so we follow in their footsteps.
Even though our country is not so developed, and misled, we appreciate our country the way it is.
I was born in a place called Aweng in Southern Sudan. I thank everyone that was close to me and around the world. People think we don’t appreciate our culture because they don’t see many displays of it, but it is only due to the lack of
our people in New Zealand. Sometimes you got to get to know me or us before you can judge.
When you come to our country you wouldn’t believe your eyes; you wouldn’t believe the good hospitality and experiences you will get. In our country we have a diverse amount of tribes who share and work together.
