Anbesame Elementary School

I recently travelled to Ethiopia, in the eastern part of Africa and during my travels I was fortunate enough to visit the elementary school my father studied at as a child. The school is located in a rural village named Anbesame within the Gondar region.

During the visit, the director of the school gave us a tour of the school and classrooms. While on the tour, I quickly realized students were lacking proper resources. For example, they often wore ripped and dirty uniforms and some of these kids didn’t even have shoes. The majority of the students live far from Anbesame and would travel by foot, without shoes, each day for miles for the opportunity to attend school.

Upon my arrival home in Canada, I decided to start a fundraiser to help these students access better uniforms, books, pens and pencils as well as other resources. I am asking you to donate and support these children attain their education. Anything will help them. 

 

Thank you so much for your time and help.
