Yohannes Gebregeorgis - A CNN Hero
32.7% of Ethiopians are literate. No let me take it back because that doesn’t show the true picture.
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.
President Kennedy said it perfectly: “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”
With that said, watch Mr. Gebregeorgis and why he is a person we should all emulate.
