Update from 2018

At the March 2015 convention Dave met Samson Tsegaye, Ethiopia Country Director for Stiftung Solarenergie—Solar Energy Foundation. Samson and Dave hatched the plot to ship sewing machines to Ethiopia.

Logistical issues and Ethiopia import laws slowed our progress, but in July 2017 we shipped 72 sewing machines to Ethiopia. In fall 2018 the training program began. And in December 2018 we got a report on the completion of the program.
