I should have mentioned this before, but one of my fellow Ethiopian adoptive parents is selling Millennium calendars! Shelley runs her own business, Shuruba, which I link to from this blog under Misc Links.
I have purchased a calendar and may get more for Christmas gifts.
NOTE: Proceeds from the Sale of these Calendars in the Month of September will be donated to help the children of Ethiopia
Here's a blurb:
The name of each Month is displayed in Amharic along with a phonetic pronunciation. The matching Canadian dates are also shown. (note: shipping is available across Canada, the US, and internationally)
Each of the 13 months also has a beautiful picture of Ethiopia or life in Ethiopia. All Ethiopian Holidays and festivals are marked on the calendar, along with a brief explanation.
Also included in this 18-page calendar, is the history of the Ethiopian Calendar, information about the Amharic Language, and the Ethiopian Alphabet. A great keep sake to commemorate this Millennium year in Ethiopia.
ALL proceeds from the sales of these Calendars will be donated to help the children of Ethiopia.
For more information and to see pictures of the calendar, please visit http://shuruba.sasktelwebsite.net/.
