Getting together

Here at DTE we communicate to others through the newsletters, email and through visits. Sometimes it's hard. The trips are costly, letters are so slow and often people do not reply.

Why is that? It is because we have a oral culture where people find it easy to talk. In the village people send a message instead of sending a note. People want to talk.No wonder, phone bills increase and one has to keep on buying phone cards.

It is better to sit down and talk. Often people are so busy so there is hardly any time to talk.But, when it comes to the end of the year there are so many parties. People keep on eating so I think oral communication is much better for some. While others prefer email.

Anyway we need to sit down and talk and discuss. These days people prefer watch TV rather than talking to each other.

Therefore let's keep communicating and talk as much as we can. Getting together to talk takes out some of the problems that we have.

I better stop here
