Personal prayer is a tricky concept for the Y’tesfa Birhan girls who have been taught to be silent during prayer when attending  their churches. I wanted to prepare a prayer prompt that they might like to use. The internet is full of ideas based on alliteration and western concepts, but there was nothing that fitted culturally and with which they could really identify. I decided to base something on the national food of injera and wot, so enlisted the assistance of my Amharic teacher Sara.
