I read that this week is Ethiopian Children's Book Week, from April 1st-7th. She also talked about an organization that she supports to help her half Ethiopian family aid the country in which a few of them were born. I think it is a great thing. I encourage you to check it out.
Ethiopia Reads is a grassroots non profit/non government organization geared toward bringing
literacy and literacy related resources to Ethiopia.

with books.
