A “Jonah Hands” library for my birthplace.
I love to read. I started reading when I was just 3 years old. My mom has a video of me reading “Jonah and the Whale” when I was 3. After that my parents took me to a special grammar school. I love to look at my grammar school graduation picture because it reminds me of all the books I read at an early age. The books took me to new worlds filled with imagination. Sometimes I think about Ethiopia where I was born and the very rural area where the kids didn’t have much, not even a book. It makes me sad and I can hardly imagine a life without books and stories. It’s been my dream to give kids in Ethiopia, who would have perhaps been my good friends, the gift of a library. And this winter, a new library will be built in the village I was born thanks to the wonderful folks who donated money to my cause. This is one of my best moments in life as an 11 year old. Read the whole story in the LaCrosse Tribune.
The world will be a better place with people like you. You brought tears to my old soul
You are without a doubt a Beautiful and Amazing Young Man! I work in an Elementary School and often books are given away from the library – will you library! take used books in good condition. I sure hope so! You’re going places in life, and though not as Important as What You Do, You’re a Very Genuine Handsome Young Man!
Your story is so surreal. I teach 4th grade and used your story to inspire them. They wanted to do a report about you and your achievements. You are a living legend and they loved that you crotchet.
