This is a fascinating photographic project, available now as a book.
The picture that caught my attention was of a class of Grade 1 children during a music lesson at Gambela Elementary School, Welissa District, Ethiopia (double page spread, today's Sunday Times magazine, May 19, 2013).

It reminded me of photos that we (Bob Neilson, I think) had taken in Ethiopian Schools back in the 1970s, as part of the evaluation of the effectiveness of educational television programmes:
Hi Jim, this is Chryssa, Bob Neilson's daughter in law. Bob passed away two years ago and we came across your wonderful blog via a google search. Stuart and I hope you are keeping well. You are certainly keeping busy :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Chryssa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I was very sorry to hear that Bob is no longer with us. I had huge respect for him and often think of those days in Addis. We're busy, with our children and grandchildren overseas. Off to Greece next week!
