Ethiopia Trip Update

Duni Zenaye, America World’s Africa Program Director, is currently in Ethiopia with our CEO, Brian Luwis, on business.  On Thursday they will be leaving for Rwanda to look more into developing our program there.  The report that we have received from them at this point is that their travels have been safe, and that their time there has been productive, but also very busy (See Brian’s account in his latest CEO Notes post).  Because Ethiopia has a completely different calendar than we have here in the U.S., it is currently lent week.  Due to this, things are not moving as quickly as we Americans would like them to.  As we gain further knowledge on what is happening in Ethiopia we will keep you posted.
