Ronaldo: "This man is working in a horse stable located in an area called Jan Meda, in the north of Addis. Here, horses are kept and given good care. People ride them and sometimes races are held in the field. He looks after the horses and their feed. Now, he his cleaning the stable and putting the waste out in the open air to dry it. This is the difficult part of the work. Feeding the horses, cleaning them and playing with them is the interesting part! The horse manure is sold to people who would like to use it as a fertilizer which is a good source of income to the institute."

Dama: " I wish for my community members to be trained in masonry and carpentry. Before, there were no local people trained but now young men are improving their skills with help from outside. Then, there will be no need of bringing town people in to build our homes at an expensive cost. Mr Kassa working on the roof, training Mr Diba."
