Travelling to visit the project soon, in early Aug
By Tsegay Wolde-Georgis | Project Leader
Dear supporters and friends,
As you know our contact with the project was very limited in the last couple of years due to the war and lack of communication.
Based on the need for collecting feedback, to evaluate those that need repairs I will be traveling at the beginning of August. I will also distribute vegetable seeds to take advantage of the current rainy season. I will meet with local government officials as well as with stakeholders. I will share my findings in my next report. The visit will also be an opportunity to discuss the kinds of projects will focus on in the next activities.
I look forward to sharing my findings in my next report.
Thank you very much.
regards.

A key informant advises to restart our project
By Tsegay Wolde-Georgis | Project Leader
Dear supporters,
As you know communication with our project participants was blocked for the last two years due to the civil war. Now that a resemblance of peace is emerging telephone lines in the big cities have begun. I was able to talk to the individual whose name is Ato Hailu Nerea. He is one of the project members and he was happy to inform me of the status of life in the last two years. The people are poorer now than they were before. Invading soldiers have taken animals without paying for them.
I was also informed that the people are eagerly waiting for the project to restart. We are now exchanging ideas here at the University on the next steps and plans of implementation. An important plan is the expansion of rainwater harvesting that would serve several households. I am also planning to purchase vegetable seeds to be distributed to about 1000 people.
I will keep you updated about the plans and hope that I will be able to go and return from the village for the next report.
Thank you for your help with the project.
Best regards,
Tsegay

Agreement: the Ethio gov and the Tigray state
By Tsegay Wolde-Georgis | Project Leader
Dear supports,
I have good news from Tigray. The Ethiopian Federal government and the Tigray regional state had met in Pretoria, RSA for peace. They signed a peace agreement on November 2, 2022, that will eventually lead to peace. Military commanders from Tigray and the federal government again met in Nairobi to detail the implementation of the peace agreement. The peace agrees for the unhindered delivery of humanitarian supplies to Tigray as well as the opening of the region from encirclement and blockade.
I believe that this is good news for our project. However, we need the complete implementation of the agreement and the quick withdrawal of non-Tigray forces from the region. Eritrean troops are still digging their presence in northern Tigray. It's high time that Eritrea also accepts the agreement and withdraws its troops. Many IDPs are also walking to the city of Adigrat. If the agreement is implemented by Eritrea and the Amhara forces in west Ethiopia can start reviving its economy and start its growth.
Once the peace treaty is implemented we would immediately travel to the region and restart the project.
We will keep you updated about the region and the project.
Thank you and Happy Holidays,
