More pictures from my trip


Growing up in delgi is the best thing it ever happened to me. After school, we run to the lake to swim and lay on that beautiful white sand soaking all the sun until it dips below the horizon. All that is gone now. There is no more white sand. It has been shipped for years and years to Bahir Dar to make seimento. Sand has been replaced with mud and what is left is what you are seeing.

Walking to fight cancer


On June 23 ,I will be walking four miles to increase awareness of cancer in Ethiopia. Although, there is a myth that the prevalent is insignificant comparing to other diseases like AIDS, Malaria and so on. I have decided to join the organization to raise money. The money will be spend for early prevention and detection throught research, education and community outreach to all Ethiopians. Currently, I am asking people to sponsor me by donating money. As of today, I have collected $ 160. My aim is to raise up to $300 . If you can't donate money, join me for the walk.
