How the Acholi community value children{By Ajok Evalyn}

The Acholi community has a very nice and unique culture that started long time ago and they realy love the culture . They are always proud of any thing they do and what they have . Some times ago there used to be no bank for the purpose of saving money and people were not valuewing money soo much as a wealth but they were valuewing Cattle, children and crops grown as their source of wealth. They were only using money for paying school fees, bride price and other minor expences and that money is also got out of cattle , crops and bride price from girls.

Let me talk about children as the regarded wealth of Acholi community . They regard children as their wealth in the fallowing ways:-
The more children you have ,the more wealth you have because interms of domestic work, they contrubute much. They are also a source of protection to the farmily if any one comes from outside to abuse the farmily, boys in that farmily will always handle it .They also look at the children as a way of expanding the clan that will make the generation continues.
