We have kicked off a new tradition at our Ethiopia Office, a biweekly Coffee Hour Session! It is a time for us to pause, gather in the office lobby, and connect beyond work for sharing thoughts, experiences, and reflections from both our professional and personal journeys. For our very first session, we had the pleasure of being led by none other than our Country Director, Bethel Tsegaye, who sparked a heartfelt conversation around passion and purpose. Together, we explored what passion means to each of us, how our childhood dreams and habits have shaped our paths, and how purpose evolves over time, influenced not just by career choices, but also by roles like motherhood, personal interests, and the unexpected turns life takes. Hearing one another's life stories which often surprising, deeply personal, and inspiring, reminded us of the richness we each bring to the workplace. It brought laughter, learning, and a renewed sense of respect and connection among colleagues. We are looking forward to many more meaningful conversations over coffee as Eyasu Yohannes – Our Supply Chain Officer leading our next session. #EmployeeEngagement #bonding #ValuableConnections (fb)

Dreams in Action at Pharo School Assosa! Last week, Pharo School Assosa came alive with excitement as we colourfully celebrated the school’s Careers Day. The event was filled with energy and imagination, with students stepping into roles that reflect the careers they dream of pursuing in the future. From caring nurses and lifesaving doctors to inspiring teachers, every profession was represented with pride and creativity. It was a day where dreams walked the school grounds! At Pharo School Assosa, we see it as our responsibility to nurture confident, capable, and competitive students in all aspects of life. Days like this remind us that the future is bright and already taking shape in our classrooms. Here's to our future leaders, healers, protectors, and innovators, may your dreams take flight and your impact be felt far and wide! #careers #empowerment #EmpowerYouth (fb)
