Join Derek as he interviews SQ Foundation's Ethiopian Program Director,
Assegid Negash. Derek will talk about his experience of first encountering
extreme poverty in India, and Assegid will share his experiences and shock
at seeing the wealth of western countries. Tune in for a fascinating
discussion about how perspective affects our experience of life.
SQ Foundation, a charity founded by Derek and Linda O'Neill, has projects in
12 countries around the world. SQ Foundation, in partnership with Ethiopia's
FIDA (Friendship for Integrated Development Association), founded by
Assegid, opened a new kindergarten in the fall of 2011 and now sponsors 200
children and their families every year. Upcoming projects in Ethiopia
include support for abandoned elderly, the expansion of a women's
empowerment program, and the construction of a school and community center
in a remote area outside of Addis Ababa. Visit http://www.sq-foundation.org
