Hi All
My name is Amare one of the grantee for GYCA HIV AIDS Small grant,
I am living in Bahir dar, the most beautiful and one of top tourist destination cities In Ethiopia, 560 km away from the capital, Addis Ababa.

Let me say more about me and my works since we all are invited to say about it a little bit. I late to submit b/c I was out of office for long hours

After graduating from Bahir Dar University of engineering in 2006, I started working on youth empowerment, HIV AIDS and Environmental programs.

The reason why I am working on HIV AIDS is that, Ethiopia is one of the top listed countries affected by HIV AIDS and its impact, so I decided to mobilize my peers, the community to play our personal stake in combating its spread, in hindering its social and economical problems.

My plan was to start implementing the program (GRANT) immediately in may, due to some inconvenience I am forced to select my children in august, from June till the mid of august school is closed in Ethiopia since these months are rainy (summer) seasons but for the last two weeks I got my self busy in dealing with the concerned officials to start selecting places that can host our children when they start their job.

Cheers

Amare
