My husband and I visited him in Addis Ababa in 2005 when the donkey mobile library was just underway. We took a tour of his first children’s library (Shola) and found every chair in the 126-seat facility filled with children on a Saturday afternoon. They were doing homework, reading on their own, helping each other through texts, and there was even a hygiene program for the poorest children to take baths and get their hair cut.

The most amazing thing happened when Yohannes tapped a number of children on their shoulders to ask their ages and what grades they were in. There was no coorelation between the two. A child could be 11 and in the first grade or 14 and in the 3rd grade. Children begin school when they move close enough to one to attend. They all considered it a privilege to be in school and were working very hard to build their skills.

Yohannes is, indeed, a CNN hero! He’s a great role model and a hero for Ethiopian children, to be sure!
