It has been a while since we began this journey, a journey to work together with individuals and organization with similar vision and mission. I have meet and work with so many individuals and organizations since I began this journey years ago, for I truly believe we can do, and accomplish better if we work together finding a common ground. As indicated many times the Fanos |Light Education and Virtues is established with the purpose of supporting children and youth education here Canada and Ethiopia and beyond. We believe this can be done by creating an environment that safe, conducive for learning, growth and progress, we believe it can be done through designing programs and services based on the need and interest of these children and youth, we believe it can be done by providing these children and youth to have access to tools , and resources that help them learn and progress as individuals, we believe these can be done by proving the support these children and youth they need, their social and emotional need, academics and skills development need.
We have been working with The Fidel Birhan Charitable Organization in various levels and capacities in the past few years. We work with the Director, and many of the members for quite sometime and build a strong relationship as a result. As you know, we completed two successful projects by working together in various level. We consider the two organizations, The Fanos Light and the Fidel Birhan are sisters organizations for they are established with the same vision and purpose which is supporting children and youth education and building communities.
We know that we are living in the time that there are so much need in our communities and countries. Our aim is to do what we can with what we have for we believe we have something to offer to the children nd youth in our surrounding and in our communities. We believe there is something we can offer to these children and to the communities around us. Therefore, we come together to work diligently with these children nd the community to bring the difference we all want to see in children and youth education. responsibility
As indicated above we have been working in collaborations with Fidel Birhan in various capacity , either in dialogue and conversation, planning for the implementation of the previous projects we have worked on Ethiopia. This is the beginning of another level of commitment to continue working together as organizations We officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding on September 4, 2024, in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia
