Description Program Srvc AccomFiscal Year 2014 saw two school openings in the villages of Azedebo and Fundame, villages not far from the city Durame, working in partnership with Ethiopia Reads. These facilities are kindergartens and early-grades libraries, built and staffed by ER to serve existing primary school communities. The kindergartens serve more than 200 children each. Team Tesfa is an athletics club with a difference. The runners on the team are encouraged to pursue athletic excellence, but they are also encouraged to pursue personal growth, particularly in the realm of education and vocational skills.Since 2007, Team Tesfa has provided education and opportunity to young athletes in Ethiopia. Team Tesfa is a track and field and cross country team officially registered with the Addis Ababa Athletics Federation, competing with other local and national clubs. Some 50-60 young athletes train or compete under the banner of Team Tesfa. What makes this club different is its commitment to a longer view. We hope to establish a standard of respect for the dignity of young athletes, and offering chances to build skills for the time after competition.Team Tesfa supports athletes with athletic gear, vocational skills, and mentorship. In this we partner with Tesfa-UK and Ethiopia Reads in the US. Tesfa implemented its second pilot of a project among athletes of Team Tesfa, a project called Women Athletes for Literacy and Learning, in which athletes were placed in school libraries to mentor children and be mentored by education professionals. It also piloted the first phase of a project called partners for Business Development, funded by Bond and Devick Financial Network in the Twin Cities, in which women athletes were trained in computers and in design and publishing software. Tesfa, in partnership with Tesfa-UK, also continues to support some of the first graduates from the first Tesfa Foundation kindergarten, called Tsegereda. These children are now in ninth and tenth grade. They receive support in tuition and school materials from Tesfa.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
