“Once my son finishes school, I want him to be independent. I want him to help himself and his country.” Moses Tsegaye— the father of a student who attends Hidassi Primary school in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia—did not complete his own studies but he is determined to ensure his son receives an education so that he can have the chance for a better life.
