A few from the school of St Yared. Ethiopia.
The school of St Yared is a small but growing school that provides western style education to underprivileged kids in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The aim of the school is to 'Fight Poverty through Education.' The children are selected on their apptitude, attitude and poverty level. The aim is equip these children with the skills and knowledge to help their families, communities and affect change in their country. The school is funded through child sponsors and generous donations from varied individuals. Some of the best English speaking Ethiopians I have met have been the 6 or 7 year olds at this school. I can't wait to see their dreams become realities.
