Selam Mimi,
I heard about you a while ago, but i met you the first time at the African Summit in Takoma Park Maryland last week. You just don’t know how i’m proud of you. I’m thrilled that you are one of the best and brightest. Keep up the great work. I’m willing to assist you as a volunteer in any capacity at any time. Again, thank you for putting the great Ethiopian name positively on the map.
