RIVER and the Afan Oromoo Language

Afan Oromoo? Ethiopia? RIVER? Yes, all three came together – the country, the language and the Organization. A partnership that started years ago bloomed into the Ethiopian Rural Education Project (EREP). Four Organizations came together for this monumental work. They were the Western Wollega Bethel Synod, Ethiopia, The Presbytery of Susquehanna Valley, USA, RIVER, India and Wellspring, Inc which played the role of overall coordinator. In November 2007, six persons, Rao, Rama, Venu, E. Ramu and two other RPs spent around a month in Dembi Dolo in Western Wollega. Here the MGML methodology was ‘transcreated’ into Afan Oromoo to be used by the local children there. We are told that the progress is very commendable.
