PONNAMMA : A JOURNEY OF FAITH<br />

SEVIKA SANGHAM OF MARTHOMA CHURCH SFBA, SVC AND THE NINANS<br />

In 1960, Emperor Haile Selassie came to India to recruit teachers for Ethiopia and Ninan was appointed<br />

as a teacher. On February 1960 they left for Ethiopia. While Ninan taught in the Haile Selassie I Day<br />

School of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, <strong>Ponnamma</strong> taught in the private school of Ato Alebatchew. (This is<br />

now a University). Due to a civil war in which the Marxists tried to take over the county of Ethiopia<br />

from Haile Selassie, a pregnant <strong>Ponnamma</strong> had to fly back to India and gave birth to Premeela in 1962.<br />
