Yes, Ethiopia celebrated the beginning of the New Year of 2014 in September. Ethiopia is one of the few countries in the world with its own calendar, using the Gregorian calendar rather than the Julian calendar that we follow in the Western world.
Recently, the Wolaita Zone government evaluated all 57 NGOs (non-government
organizations) in our province and awarded Mossy Foot a certificate (shown above) for being the top NGO.
Happy Easter!!!
You are probably thinking, “Isn’t it a little late to celebrate Easter?” Yes, that is true in America; however, in Ethiopia “Fasika” (Easter) is still ahead on the calendar and will be observed on May 2.
Share some love with a Mossy Foot child this Easter. Every $20 donated will bless a child with treatment and school supplies.
No, we aren’t late! While Christmas was over for us in December, Ethiopian Christians, like many other Orthodox believers, celebrated Christmas on January 7th.
