What are you doing December 17? How about joining the fun and festivities to raise money for a new library in Ethiopia? Here's the scoop from Ethiopia Reads:
Help support our goal of raising $25,000 to fund a library and literacy program for a grade school in the Mercato neighborhood of Addis Ababa. Join us for a night of art, travel, books, dinner, and learning. Featured speakers include famed children’s author Jane Kurtz, writer of American Girl's Lanie series; Minilik Yewondwossen, an award-winning young poet from Ethiopia; and acclaimed Ethiopian Artist Yadesa Boija, who grew up in the Mercato neighbor and designed the African Union flag.
Great auction items included are a week in a house in Greece, a weekend in an apartment in Paris, a piece of Yadesa's artwork, autographed books by Jane Kurtz (and Kirby Larson!) and much more. Enjoy Ethiopian food while enabling Big Dreams.
