My plan is to arrive in Ethiopia in July, 2015 where I will spend time in Addis and then head to Dire Dawa to teach English composition at a private school. Also, I will again be active with the Ethiopian Public Health Association. My wishes include networking with forenjis and nationals who reside and work in Addis, Dire, Haramaya, and Harar.
