<p>Thanks for taking the time.</p> <p>Yssy Hailu and I are taking part in the British 10K London run to raise money for <a title="a-cet website" href="http://www.a-cet.org">African Children's Educational Trust (A-CET)</a>, a small independent UK charity run by volunteers.&nbsp;I am currently a Trustee (one of the directors) and had a scholarship from A-CET to study in the UK.&nbsp;Yssy has just finished his a-cet sponsored MBA and helps David while waiting for his graduation.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I had a chance to see A-CET's completed and future school projects during my recent visit to Ethiopia.&nbsp;</p> <p>I was very impressed with&nbsp;A-CET's local people in Ethiopia who&nbsp;are very responsible and spend every penny wisely.&nbsp;</p> <p>Visiting new schools and the first solar computer lab made me realize the impact of the projects on the students and the community.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Spending time with children from the schools in the remote areas who aspire to be&nbsp;teachers,doctors and prime ministers was very inspiring.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I am sure you all agree that educating the local people is one of the best ways to help developing countries. It is not a quick fix, but we can do it by building one school at a time.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I believe donations made to focused and accountable efforts such as this are making a significant difference.</p> <p>Please sponsor me!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Sammy</p>
