67.30% of Ethiopians are illiterate. Now, THAT shows the true picture. And education is the foundation for everything. It all starts with picking up that first book. With that said watch why Yohannes Gebregeorgis has been chosen as a CNN Hero.
One person, delivering books, and changing the lives of tens of thousand’s of kids. It makes you wonder what we are doing as a nation to help our youth.
