I was aware there were some problems when I visited in October. Sister Weynemariam is having a really tough time balancing the budget: it's the same with some schools here,but most of us can afford to pay higher taxes, so it's not so critical. There, a lot don't earn much, so their taxes are low and where's the government going to get the money from. Is it possible to arrange a meeting in DC, to get some old girls together to raise some funds for the school? When I return to work - soon, I'm praying,as it's been 10 months now since I had some income - then I'll see what I can do. Can someone set up a non-profit for Nazareth School? Universities do this all the time, via their alumni, and most graduates have gone onto good things and much better lives. Just a suggestion.

It's wonderful to hear about the great things your classmates at Naz have done and the great things you have done by reaching out to Ethiopia. There are many great women that have gone to Nazareth, it really would be so wonderful if we have a real alumni organization where we can reach across generations to at the least have a cohesive community outside of our classesmates! There are recent feuds that you may not be aware of but tensions are high amongst the staff and the administration -- as recent as these past few days there were events that took them to court. I am sure studies are being disrupted at least every few days because of the way the conflict has been handled. I think the central issue, as you point out, is money, such a pity for a charitable missionary school (both staff & administration) to struggle like this without the alumni looking back and stretching our helping hands. Nolawi -- glad to hear u're supporting this good cause. I hope you help spread the word about the book! For your knowledge, even the motto of the school is "My God, My Country". Annette,

We have so much to be proud of, having been educated at Nazareth School. Although I only studied there for two years, I always told people that it was the best school I ever attended. Many are surprised, they only associate Ethiopia with war and famine, you know! The idea of giving money on an annual basis to the school is a really good one. When I visited the school in March 2004, 40 years after I left, Sister Weynemariam Tesfaye told me that it was their 50th anniversary, but they had no funds with which to celebrate it, which saddened me. I saw her again on 26th October 2006, when I launched my book there, and believe you me, they need your help. From grade 6a (my last year there) in 1963, you know that 3 of our classmates now work for the UN. How cool is that?! And yes, for those of you who visit my website, I'm determined to do all I can - with your help - to bring clean, potable water and sanitation to the very poor, in both cities and rural areas. The lack of this directly affects women and young girls in particular: the latter can't afford to go to school, their days are taken up by collecting water. <a href="http://www.wateraid.org" rel="nofollow"> If you decide to buy "An Ethiopian Odyssey" you'll read some amazing miracles in the book, which ends at Ground Zero in New York, at St. Paul's Chapel: a place of amazing peace. Please let other Ethio-Americans know!</a> Hi ladies, and fellow students, greetings from Buckingham, England (60 miles north of London)!

For those that don't know the sisters (sisters of the heart of christ??-yemiyaq sew yastekaklilign...) of Nazareth school are also very active in lots of charitable projects: some mainly focusing on access to water, sanitation etc.. especially in regions where other organizations are not focusing -- this includes southwestern ethiopia some are areas in the limbo state between urban and rural and it's becoming increasingly difficult to sustain a lifestyle based on agriculture.

As for the second idea, there are already girls in Nazareth who're being sponsored by various alumnae groups. Saint Joseph has also been doing the same for a little while now. You can probably contact the school to forward you to alums responsible. Mamitu,

I think what made Nazareth school strong was the high caliber students and the teachers who nurtured that. I was thinking that we can set up a fund for the school so that it will be able to retain the good teachers through competetive pay and that we can give scholarships to deserving students through out Addis schools just like ICS does, by giving them entry tests that identify these strong girls and allowing them to stay in the school as long as they maintain good grades. I hope some of you guys will entertain the idea and see how we could go about it. I think there is so many of us that it wouldn't be a burden. For example if we have an average of 80 girls graduating per year, there is over 3,000 of us around. And I am assuming we can afford 20 dollars a year for this venture. This is just a thought I hope most of you Nazareth alumini agree with me. Dear Nazareth Aluminai,

This article might have generate a few unique visitors to bernos but the reason there is traffic on the site is not because of this article…

1) we are consistant with updating the blog
2) we have content that matters for our core audience
3) we write from a personal perspective…

the intent of this topic was not to try to intise a controversy persay but to share my personal opinion… but it created a controvesy only because most nazreth school grads know that there is truth to the assumption… so you are wrong.. the blog would have traffic regardless of this article…

begirmet

So the logical deduction is that “ye nazareth mirtoch are manufactured to fit the naz fabrika cookie-cutter: necessarily identical in astesaseb, choice of men, ina superficial (absorbed in surface-level things & lacking substance)”
Well ok…fine fine…

we are good on the logical deduction..as you say.. and go to the contradiction claim…

Yes generalizations are never 100%

I am as you say implying not everyone fits the mold… only some and all to different extent… putting that in the my post would have been good… but would have lacked some poetry… maybe not…

Could the fabrika be pemanently flawed and its been mass manufacturing defective stepford wife robots for Senjo boys for 60+ years!? Well truthfully, the flaw is not in the NS fabrika but in nolawi’s metaphor.

nice try on trying to imply… that i made a claim that the girls are exactly like an assembly line… Really nice try… any smart person that read this knows that are a million plus variables in the making of a person… nor are people identical when they are born! hence in laymans terms

object source + sensory input = result object

in model t case

steel + assembly line = ford model T

in nazreth case

Betty Tamrat + school (assmbly-line) = Nolawi’s claim Betty! but still betty!

so only if the source was the same identical would my claim be 100% … no flaw in the metaphore… only that in the fabrica they used identical source object and so the result is identical… gebash nefse…
but betam betam arif try! I will give youa cookie…

gin At the END…

THIS IS NOT A RACIST OR A CLASSIST ARTICLE.. minamin.. yes it is a stereo type.. and my personal opinion… really doesnt matter… poking fun.. its jsut a fuken blog article.. no need to make it a big deal…

ya i know i know… It raised some eyebrows.. lets drop it eshi…

by the way is teacher habte -‘chengaf’ (sorry 4 using the nick)…I liked him betaaam he reminded me of my dad…kusterter yale…
Wow common experiences…do you guys remember ‘Dave’? never saw the ‘wow’s about him. And how Teacher Neda used to beat us w/ that daster?

Blen Weyy, gedelshing. u had a crash on him beyinga! Tobian indie, how could u not remember his beautiful eyes? lol! I swear I could picture his eyes, his stiff upper lip (he usually spoke through his 'teeth'), and yea, definitely, the way he stand tall and straight. Yaredite...errr...NOT! BUT here is what I know. This girl ,who was a senior to me..but still much younger than Yared, dated him (hold it...it was years after she graduated). I just couldn't believe it.

I see you were a Yaredite :-) I don't even remember what his eyes looked like. Were they an unusual color? I do remember how he carried himself. Looking back, of course he stood out ... it's rare to find Ethio men who stand tall and straight. (Same goes for women, for that matter ) I also don't ever recall seeing him angry, raise his voice, etc. I generally bold/italicize Amharic words, if I remember. If the <em><strong>wefefewoch</strong></em> are offended, oh well .. :-) BeGirimt, Yup, he is/was one good teacher. There are 2 teachers that stand out to date and I can say good things about them without but's - Yared and Habte (and he'd such a horrible nickname!). <em><strong>Kostara</strong></em>. No petting. Came prepared, and neither were big on punishing students for trivial reasons. Yup, that's 2 good Habesh men ;-) Wudenesh,
