Education in Ethiopia

Have produced a set of greeting cards for the Link Ethiopia and Aysanew Kassa Trust charities, based on the pictures I took in school around Gondar last October (two of the pictures used are above). The challenge is to sell the first set of 1,000 packs of five - five different cards, with different images in each pack. It seems that people in the UK lack the impulse to give to charity that is virtually automatic in America. Perhaps it is the lack of religion in the UK - most charitable giving in the US is through churches, perhaps it is the inability to realise how far a little money here will go in places like Ethiopia. The schools and communities in Northern Ethiopia are so desperately short of resources and investment. Classes in primary and secondary schools of over a hundred are common and there is a chronic shortage of skilled teachers and books.
