Yesterday we held an event in downtown Minneapolis to remember Leeza five years after her passing, and to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished. It was called the Five Schools Benefit in tribute to our central achievement: five schools in five years, over 700 children served, and all for about $150,000. In this photo, we’re listening to members of the University of Minnesota Women’s Track Team talk about Team Tesfa and about the teen girls in Ethiopia. You’ll notice Sophia in the back serving coffee Ethiopian style. And the towering figure in front is Patrick McGrann, head of the Minnesota non-profit, Kitegang. Patrick has been to Shiro Meda to fly kites with our children. He spoke about the experience and about the hope that small non-profits like ours represent.
