A New Year

Hello everyone!  I hope that you have had a wonderful holiday season.  As we start a new year, let me share some statistics with you regarding education in Ethiopia.  According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in 2011 approximately 59.1% of adults and 69.5% of youth were deemed literate.  This number rose from the previous calculations in 2007 which were 39% of adults and 55% of youth.  One reason for this increase in literacy could be the efforts made by Compassion International and other organizations that promote a healthy education for underprivileged children.  Please consider making a donation to Compassion International.  Your gift of any amount can be used to give a child hope for a brighter future.
