On June 17th, 2019 Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Ethiopia, Pavel Mikeš, visited the School of St. Yared based in Addis Ababa. On this occasion the students from the school received as a gift to their library several books in English or bilingual English-Czech language.
The students may from now on read famous authors such as Karel Čapek, Josef Lada and the little ones get to meet the Little Mole, a famous cartoon created by a Czech animator Zdeněk Miller. We believe that thank to those Czech books, the students will get the chance to get to know more about the Czech Republic and its culture. The School of St. Yared is supported by an Australian NGO Hope for Children. Its aim is to provide an excellent education to talented, impoverished children from the poorest suburbs of the capital city of Ethiopia. The goal is to empower the students to break free from poverty and to become future leaders in their communities. We wish them good luck and hope the students will enjoy the books.
