I'm alone to write to you, and on my feet
sleeps Bobby, our dog. I really like to
stay alone at least once a day. Here, we live
so many intense moments that it takes time to
digest them.
Poverty has many faces; you can see it on
the amount of deaths, sick people, but also by
the children who come to school, without any
pen, or with opened wounds on the hands, that
get infected when they put them in the mud.
But, as you can see, we have chosen to show
only positive images that respect people's
dignity.
Some of our pupils also lost someone from
their family (because of aids, malaria, a
meningitus). Each time, their life changes,
they take an active part in the family. At
least, there is no war at the moment, against
Erythree. Watching this school and the
children that come every day, you can feel
enthousiasm, energy, and their will to be
children like the other ones, with pen and
exercise books.
Tonight, we had too much beer, the best of
the country. The three best are Saint Georges,
Meta, and Bedele. Ethiopian wine is not very
good, it gives strong headaches... Well, we'll
see that tomorrow, combined with Lariam.
Results of the soccer tournament : the
Monkeys beat the Lions 6 to 4, the Zebras beat
the Tigers 2 to 1. The final will take place
on Friday, between the Monkeys (captainship:
Nicolas) and Zebras (captainship: Theo).

| Here,
it's hard to be born a woman...
Young girls haven't got time to
study. When they come back from
school, they have to prepare the
dinner for the whole family,
clean, take care of the youngests,
go and get some water...
Many girls leave the school
before it ends, much more than
boys. Education is however the
base to have notions of health and
hygiene, vitals for the family.
Zenebe told us that in Meki
School, there are some difficult
cases. As soon as they can have a
baby, girls are promised to a
husband. Thus, many girls aged
15-16 miss the School because they
are pregnant.
In the most isolated areas,
some women are sold 200 Birr (20
£), as a cow is sold 600. Others
are raped and then are forced to
marry the man because they are
pregnant.
Where is here the human dignity
and in peculiar the one of the
women ?
We wait
for your comments on the Forum.

The
respect of life and dignity of the
human person are the main
standards for a good economical,
industrial and scientific
progress.
