What does the future hold? 0136-What does the future hold? A description and documentation of Avatime

This story was recorded in Amedzofe at a meeting with 10 elderly people. The 10 people were divided into two groups and we talked with each group for an hour. In the first session Sammy interviewed the first five people about what has changed since they were young and what they think Amedzofe will be like in the future. In the second session, Sammy asked the other five people to tell their life stories and then asked if there were other stories or folk tales they could tell. This story was part of the first session in Amedzofe. C.K. talks about what he thinks is going to change in the future. Manfred has transcribed and translated the audio recording, but this has not been typed up. In this short recording, Rebecca asks C.K. to tell what he thinks Amedzofe will be like in 30 years. There is some discussion between C.K., Yunis and Judith as to what she has asked and then Sammy explains. Then C.K. answers the question. Afterwards, Wisdom translates what he has said into English. The question, discussion and short story are in Avatime. This is then translated into English by Wisdom. Rebecca asks the initial question, C.K., Yunis and Judith discuss this, Sammy asks the question again, then C.K. answers. Wisdom translates into English. Saskia was also present. Manfred has transcribed and translated the recording on paper.
