There are 3 billion young people under 30 years old around the world and 90% of them are in developing countries. What does that tell you about the future? And the future is not some abstract concept. It’s fiver years, ten years from now. Fresh and Green Academy is on the right track a head of its time for the country! I am your supporter!

@Sabataa Dubbii I wish the existing elementary school systems in Ethiopia was well grounded and effective as you suggest. As a teacher myself, at the moment I would say it’s more like on life support.

I believe the citizens of the nation should take initiatives to open venues for better distributions of educational opportunities in the country. The people can accomplish more than the regular governmental schools if they are united and determined. If individuals achieve so much, group of people with one mind and one heart could create a miracle in educating every child in Ethiopia. We need local leaders who can activate and motivate neighborhoods and communities. Muday is such a leader in her community in Addis Ababa. She has organized the available manpower to contribute towards creating educated citizens. This is a great pilot line to be a model all over the city and the regions of the country. I thank Tish for her involvement in contributing to the success of such unique academic initiative. It is a needed complement to the existing elementary school systems-very grounded and effective.

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation. – JFK

I know Muday personally and she is a beautiful person inside and out and a brilliant mind. I appreciate what Trish is doing through her Friends of the Fresh and Green Academy organization. It’s an example to all Ethiopians especially in the diaspora that show how simple it can be to make a difference if you have the will power. Keep up the good work!!
