"He who learns, teaches."
     Ancient African Proverb - Ethiopia

Though we all must choose
our own paths in life
and the journey may
sometimes seem far,

If we learn from our
ancestors' struggle and strife,
we will be better yet
than we are.

Our grandfathers etching
our history in stone
and grandmothers with
silken threads weaving,

Empowered us with
the will to be strong
and succeed if we
keep on believing.
