From our friends at The Ellis School in Pittsburgh, who just sent us a donation from a very successful fundraiser:
We did a skit on Friday to introduce the idea behind our fundraiser. A group of us pretended that Ethiopia Reads invited us to visit an Ethiopian school. We were so excited to look around and when we made it to the library, we were surprised and saddened at the empty room. Lots of ad-libbing, but we got our point across. We said to one another, "I bet our friends back at Ellis would want to help us do something about this!'' Our audience erupted into shouts of "YES - WE WANT TO HELP!" It was very cute.
Thank you for your great idea and support!
