Groundbreaking in Gunchire, Ethiopia
Our work in Ethiopia is focused and proven - communities are transforming, and cycles of poverty are being broken in real time. The seeds that have been sown for more than a decade are now coming to fruition.
We are here in Ethiopia to celebrate some of that transformation, and to be part of taking the next steps toward our partner communities flourishing into the future. We are here to break ground on the new Gunchire Preschool.
A New Beginning: What Happened in Neyba on August 31st
On August 31st, I got to witness the beginning of a new story.
We welcomed the first 60 children into their new classrooms — the inaugural class of a school that’s been years in the making. The whole community showed up: leadership from TEARS, representatives from the Dominican Ministry of Education, local pastors, the Mayor of Neyba, and dozens of families who walked their kids through the doors for the first time. Some were crying, some were laughing, all of them hopeful in a way that's hard to describe unless you've seen it yourself.
