Good discussion with Shefa

Repeated the usual routine, but C decided to drive and dropped me at St Station; take the 8.25 train, chagedat Hackney Downs, got off B Green, walked to Stifford, met with Radha, have an interesting chat on the weather, our work, told her I was coming back to give flowers, card and chocolate to Bo as she was leaving; walked to Jagonari Centre, taught lessons, including practice exams, which the learners found very useful; came home;

Rang Ashenafi, had a long discussion on what to do with our family hotel in Shakiso, how to improve the effectiveness of our family meeting, what need to do in the future, issue around family members moving to USA, living in closer vicinities etc - a lack of jobs; he suggested we should improve our hotel, run commercial agriculture in Eth, set up a pharmacy in collaboration with Tesfaye Bude; Garbushe to be cashier for the pharmacy, etc; I agreed in principle but told him that we have work hard and save money to invest over the next 3-5 years; we'll keeping talking over skype; I asked if can talk to Sam and see if they can an AHEAD/UDA fundraising event in USA -sponsored bike ride, running or even walking!
