I met Yohannes three years ago in Awassa and I said at the time that "This is a crazy idea." After 3 years, I feel sorry for myself because I did nothing, but Yohannes is a hero who tried to change society for the better and he is doing it through books and not through the barrel of the gun. May god be with him. The great <em>Mamo Kilu</em> brings nostalgia from our childhood. We love you, Yohannes! Tadias!

As board president, I'm always thrilled at those who take the time to write and read about Yohannes's efforts to get a reading culture started in Ethiopia. Our job here in the U.S. is to raise money to keep those efforts going and to expand into new neighborhoods and cities and villages. I hope Tadias readers will become members of Ethiopia Reads and join the small but determined group of people that believes Yohannes is onto something. Jane Kurtz Thanks, Tadias!
