<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. I am currently a Trustee (one of the directors) and had a scholarship from A-CET to study in the UK. Yssy has just finished his a-cet sponsored MBA and helps David while waiting for his graduation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I had a chance to see A-CET's completed and future school projects during my recent visit to Ethiopia. </p>
<p>I was very impressed with A-CET's local people in Ethiopia who are very responsible and spend every penny wisely. </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> </p>
<p>Spending time with children from the schools in the remote areas who aspire to be teachers,doctors and prime ministers was very inspiring. </p>
<p> </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. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I believe donations made to focused and accountable efforts such as this are making a significant difference.</p>
<p>Please sponsor me! </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
