How many times have you visited Ethiopia?    At least 10 times, maybe more.

When was the first time you visited Ethiopia?                                                         Mid September 1963.

What made this trip unique and special for you?                                                                    It was the beginning of our two years of service in the Peace Corps.

What progress do you foresee ET Learns having in the future?                                          Our plan is to improve in every high school in Wolaita Zone. Our dream is to do the same for SNNPR (Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region). Our fantasy is to reach out to the whole country.

We're dedicated to make that dream become a reality. As you help us continue our goal to provide educational technology to the most underserved part of Ethiopia, we know real change can happen.
