DISTRIBUTION IN ETHIOPIA

In April 2007, 500 copies of E is for Ethiopia were sent to Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) in Ethiopia for distribution through the school cluster program. VSO Ethiopia has over 100 volunteers working in all corners of the country (we were two such volunteers from 2002-2004). The cluster program involves groups of schools, or clusters, working together on teacher development and improving learning conditions.
 
Since then, we have sent over 100 more books to schools and orphanages in Bonga, Awassa, Gondar, Assela, Nekemte and Abbiyi Addi. If you would like books shipped to a particular location in Ethiopia, please contact us.

I dropped off the box of books at the Victory School for the Deaf in Addis. As you can see in the photos, they were very happy and interested in the books. Thank you!

Students will be encouraged to spend time in schools on a weekly basis helping students with English language reading skills. E is for Ethiopia and other English language story books will be used to encourage language learners to read for enjoyment.

I wrote a series of lesson plans, from Grade 1 to 8, all using the book and with a view to Active learning. I am trialing these in our Cluster Schools, using a set of books in each lesson and leaving one behind each time.

I want to share how excited the children were. The first to see the books were the girls in the dresses. They just ran over to me and the books. We started reading the book together and eventually attracted a much larger group of children.
