Your comment is really offensive. You should have encouraged them first. anyways, this is just to say
, dont take them for granted for saving one life is immeasurable.

God bless you, ethiopian visionaries
Long live ethiopia, God bless Ethiopia

nice news,

i’m a medical student and want to specialize in countries with hightech

i do believe that they can do a great help also by sharing their knowledge to us and of course by giving us opportunities to take some trainings

also it is time 4 z govt to do something i can site the case of us medical students…we are learning in classes and labs for 330 which were meant for 40..interns are working 36 hours continuously with out any payment for the extra hours

how can i ever want to work in a place where i work 36 hours constantly without a dime even for coffee???

Remember, US is only for US citizens, china is for Chinese, our motherland Ethiopia is only for us.

It is this sort of thing that should be encouraged. Ethiopia is not poor in its skilled human resources. It is just, all have moved on to greener pastures else where. This type of a short-stay contribution from the diaspora is much desired to further the human capacity at home. We need engineers, IT professionals, economists, project managers, social workers etc.. making the same trip and sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience with fellow Ethiopians at home. You are not only teaching but you will also be learning from locals and come close to the issues of the day so that your next trip will bring in solutions to those problems you have experienced first hand by being there!!

Please keep it up!!!

Even America needs more professionals. In a weird way I seem to understand Bulcha’s point though. It is true our problem is also what is mentioned by Bulcha, but having those great volunteers is just a plus and we need to appreciated their effort.

God speed and we are proud of you and Bulcha for sharing his opinion.

Why should we trust your comment, while thousands of people in Ethiopia are suffering from diabetics, hypertension etc. It is true that there is lack of laboratory equipments , however we should encourage these guys who are discharging their responsibility very well.

It is a good to see that Ethiopians living abroad are trying to do some good to their people. it is indeed a great help for most of the people who have low fixed income that barley covers their daily subsistence, let alone to afford expensive medical treatment, if one exists.

I would like to tell you that you are doing great and be sure Ethiopia will not forget your effort in saving lives and building a generation that is going to take over this country. I hope I could also contribute my share in the effort when I return home after finishing what I’m doing here in 3 months time.

Let me raise one issue. It is an undeniable fact that the diaspora is doing a nice job in these kind of visits back home. Have you ever asked yourself: Is this the best the diaspora can do? What about returning home once and for all? If those professionals (teachers, doctors, engineers, economists, agriculturalists, IT professionals, accountants, ausinessmen and women,…etc) can afford to live in this difficult situation because they can have other means to support themselves, will it be that difficult for the diaspora to go back and settle permanently and contributing more? After all, when is the ‘right time’ if not now when our people need us most?

I wish to see the day when all Ethiopia’s children gather at home to give what our country needs most. Those who have the knowledge and expertise serving in in their particular filed, those who have the money investing it in areas where the country needs those investments most.

Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself”

What Ethiopian hospitals and health facilities needs is material. If anyone can help with that, it will be wonderful. Otherwise, it is just a waste of time. We first need to know what people need. Ethiopians have no hypertension or other blood pressure like the Americans. we are suffering from elementary problems like skin infection, malaria, influenza, diabetic, abdominal discomfort, Meningitis, etc.

Gosh, are these people talking about heart surgery while we are dying of cough and flue?
