www.wordsoundpowercollective.blogspot.com www.wordsoundpowercollective.org The University National Service Program has pointed the way. Today’s younger generation must maintain their ties with the people who are the bulk and backbone of the nation. The problem of the many must become the problem of the few, for only in this way can the progress we earn be lasting and real and of benefit to all. This very institution of Parliament is itself a striking example of the reshaping and molding of custom and tradition which has at every step marked ’s development over the years. To serve in these Chambers, a man must possess high ability and demonstrated talents. Indeed, you Deputies must, in addition, have persuaded your constituents that you dispose of these qualities in abundance, for you owe your claim to sit in this deliberative assembly to their votes, cast in free and open elections. Haile Selassie I Each Must Contribute In the months ahead, much will be asked of you. You will Speech by Haile Selassie I be called upon to consider diverse and complex legislation, proposals prepared by experts after long Let there be no mistake: in modern Ethiopia, each man and painstaking efforts, enactments vital to the life and must contribute. There is no protection from the demand growth of the nation. Study them carefully and that a man’s worth be assessed by his achievements. dispassionately; seek emotional involvement but Education and learning offer no escape from the objectively, as representatives of a united nation and obligation of toil. Social position and high birth provide people, with the public welfare your constant concern. no guarantee of soft hands and a life of ease and comfort. High origins are no passport to high position. To those who contribute willingly, to the best of their abilities, who, in sweat and toil, work for the good of the nation with little thought of self, to them will much be given, even to the governing of the land. Nor should anyone today mistakenly believe that only in the cities can he serve his country. The greater need today is among the people, with those who work the soil, who provide the nourishment and sustenance upon which Ethiopia feeds. Lij Tafari Makonnen

www.wordsoundpowercollective.blogspot.com www.wordsoundpowercollective.org Very little consideration should be given to the intellectual po- sition of retired Professor Roy Augier who advised a group of Rastafari attending the 2010 conference at University of the West Indies Mona that they should make Jamaica the home land of Rastafari. This is a devised plan to rehabilitate Rastafari and to commercialize the movement .

Dejazmatch Yilma Makonnen was Emperor Haile Selassie’s only sibling, and was the father of four children, sons Kegnazmatch Sehalu Yilma, Kegnazmatch Asfaw Yilma and Dejazmatch Menge- sha Yilma, and a daughter Her Imperial Highness Princess Yeshashework Yilma. Ras Makonnen himself had several siblings however. His elder sister Ihite Mariam had a daughter Mazlekia, who was married to Fitawrari Haile Selassie, and was the mother of Ras Imiru Haile Selassie, who was to be the Emperor Haile Selassie’s life long companion and close confidant. As Ras Makonnen spent a great deal of time traveling on diplomatic business for Emperor Menelik, so he entrusted the care of his son Taffari to Fitawrari Haile Selassie. Therefore, Taffari grew up with Imiru more as brothers rather than cousins. Lij Taffari also was cared for by his maternal grandmother Woizero (later Emahoi after taking vows and be- coming a nun) Welete Giorgis, and his maternal aunt Woizero Mammit. The boys were given the traditional education given Lij Tafari Makonnen to the children of Ethiopia’s aristocracy. They were taught by Unto us a child is born Orthodox priests, and could recite the psalms in Ge-ez by age six. They were ordained deacons and served as such at Harrar’s Emperor Haile Selassie I was born on July 23, 1894, as Lij St. Michael’s Church.

She arranged Selassie of Shewa, sister of King Haile Melekot of Shewa, and for him to marry her niece, Woizero Mentewab, a girl closer aunt to Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia.

www.wordsoundpowercollective.blogspot.com www.wordsoundpowercollective.org Sister Tibebwa gave us a comprehensive account on all the expenditures relating to the Project, and she also shared ideas on how to involve the international Ras Tafari community in the furtherance of our Elder’s protection initiatives.

In my interviews with many of the Elders, a central theme emerged, which is consistent with the next steps that must be developed and implemented for our communities; that is, more resources needs to be accessed and targeted toward social and community services that addresses not just Elders health, but encompasses the whole person and community. Perhaps it is time to further strengthen our organizations by merging some of our resources under the same umbrella, or creating a collective master plan that will address those challenges of the 21st century, by which most of our community is already challenged.
