In 2005 one of our students Birhan who had survived the Ethiopia famine of 1984 was interviewed by Oprah on her programme "Children who changed the world". This was an inspiration to all of us when we realized that Oprah's views on the importance and power of education so fitted our own.

Image shows Oprah with Birhan and translator Bisrat who is also our Ethiopian Manager. Birhan has since attended language school and should be able to converse with Oprah next time they meet?
