Seeds of Hope

We started sponsoring a child. He is a 7 year old boy and I can't wait to meet him! The child sponsorship program was named, by us Americans, "Seeds of Hope". Please read below to see how significant that name is to the people of Shanto.

Here's a note from Desalegn about the meaning of "Seeds of Hope:"

Thank you so many million times for giving this great name for our (FOVC's) child sponsorship program. It is really very blessing name.

By the way Seeds of Hope stands for "Yetasfa Zer" in Amharic and it has much blessing meaning. Some times due to heavy drought and lack of regular rain the farmer uses his all seeds for feeding and some clever farmers save a few seeds for sewing (it may not be more than 10 gm, imagine how small it is). Now that small amount of seed which helps to revive again is "Yetasfa Zer"/ Seeds of Hope in our context!

So thank you for this name. You are always great for us!!!
