Uniforms tattered and worn...

If you want to go to school in Ethiopia, you betterhave a uniform. If you want to have a job after school, you better have an education. Huh, I guess a uniform is a must. Fortunately for Kechene students, they have uniforms that were handed down. Unfortunately for Kechene students, they are tattered and worn. The sweaters were torn in many places showing off elbows and undershirts. Boys' pants were held up by string and their zippers were all broken.

If you would like to help these kids get a uniform, you can!! For $20, a girl can get a new sweater, blouse, and skirt to wear to school. For $20, a boy can get a new white shirt, sweater, and pants to go to school.
