Young Ethiopians Celebrating (Source: AP)

Hasn’t the millennium already happened? Well for most of the world you would be correct but not in Ethiopia. Ethiopia heralded in the 21st century on Wednesday, September 12th. It celebrates the millennium seven years after the rest of the world because it follows the Coptic calendar instead of the more common Gregorian.

Happy Millennium to all our staff and volunteers in Ethiopia! Enjoy the celebrations!
