Construction, Sponsorship & Stories - Lifesong Ethiopia

Please enjoy these updates from Lifesong Ethiopia...  Student Update: Meet Taretkegn Taretkegn is a nine-year-old student atLifesong Ethiopia. He was very young when both of his parents died.  His grandmother cared for him until he was four and then he went to live with an aunt who had the means to support him. Taretkegn eventually got to go to school.  This year he is in the first grade and loves it!  Soccer is his favorite sport, so he's always looking forward to recess.  In the classroom, math is his preferred subject.  Taretkegn holds the dream of becoming a doctor someday. Taretkegn is very thankful for the opportunity to go to school.  He wants to tell everyone from Lifesong that he loves you.  Construction Update: Ziway & Adami Tulu The two-story 14-room building at the Ziway Primary School is ready for the second-story.
