In our context, the word “Yom” has two distinct meanings: “Today/Present” in Ethiopian ancient Geeze, and “When” in Oromiffa. We would like to convey a message to individuals who wonder when to start learning by connecting the two meanings, indicating that the time is now. Yom in Hebrew can also be defined as the period of light from sunrise to sunset, as education is a tool for enlightenment.
