Congratulations to the thirteen 10th graders and four 12th grade Youth Center students who all passed their very difficult national exams last spring!
This past spring, 13 Youth Center students, 8 of whom were girls, took the 10th grade exams. All 13 passed and are now in university preparatory programs. One student even earned a perfect score! All 4 students who took the 12th grade exam also passed with flying colors and are attending universities in Ethiopia.
Congratulations to these wonderful students and to the fantastic teachers at the Youth Center who spent many long hours tutoring them!


In September, HFC-US opened its first group home in Addis Ababa providing much needed shelter for four young children who had just lost their parents to AIDS and a young woman (Elsa) who, thanks to HFC-Ethiopia’s House of Hope, had recently regained her health and reunited with her own three children.
