The most important thing in life is to know how to give to the others. It is very difficult to learn this thing… This is so beautiful to see you all living your life in this way and a lot of potion and love… I wish all of the people will know and like you do… peaceful and happy. Love
Rect Zuili (Israel)
Your community is an inspiration to me, Ethiopia, and the rest of the humanity. I wish you strength for the future.
Gavin Armstrong (South Africa)
All things here impressed me so much. The calm and happy life of people in this community is what the entire world desired. The annoying and boring things can’t be found here unlike our world. People are not that much eager for profit. This is the paradise of all human beings.
Wang Pengying (China)
The pioneering works of this community on gender issues and development truly inspirations and deserves wide dissemination throughout Ethiopia and Africa. I will do my best, as messenger of your efforts and principles, to ensure others can benefit from your work. A truly mind-changing experience, with very best wishes for the future,
Ambassador Tim Clarke (European Commission)
I have only words of thank you for all the people who is in this community, you are a wise example changing everything without discrimination and with peaceful. I hope I wish more people of the world will do the same as you. My best wishes and my deeply admiration for the way you take care of elders and your children.
Mercie (MSF Greece)
Thank you very much for showing me around. I think your village is an inspiring place that can serve as learning center for other densely populated areas in the country that need to move away from a farming-only situation to a more diversified economy. I also like your village from a gender perspective. Let’s try to keep in touch.
Janny Poley (Royal Netherlands Embassy)
This community is very impressive. The values and principles they follow and cherish are a fantastic model of what all communities should practice.
David Mwaniki, Global Crises Solution
This idea of work principle, human lights, equal rights between men and women and being completely independent should be strongly encouraged not only in Ethiopia but also in the rest of Africa. If Africa does this it will succeed. If Ethiopia does this the economy will grow in leaps and bounds.
Batam Gobey
You made us feel as though we were part of your community. Thank you for being so welcoming. You are doing so well; you don’t need advice from us. We will take your philosophy and good feelings home with us.
Peter Jane Young
Just nothing to add, this community is working at perfection. I hope it will be copied all around the world. Peace and love each other.
Lolo, France
The Awra Amba community is really an exemplary for making a difference in the life of human beings regardless of gender, religion and color.
Shumete
Thank you very much for showing us your life and work. It has been very inspiring and encouraging. We wish the community all the best for the future and we will spread your inspiring concepts. Thank you and God bless you.
Odette, Sal den Organization Stop AIDS Now!
I have come and have seen how a well pursued vision can be a reality in a man’s life time. This village is a model of what God wants us to be and do in life. I pray that this model will spread even beyond Ethiopia.
Joshua Ogunwole, Nigeria
What an incredible place. A community living and practicing the principles of peace and humanism is an inspiration to all people where ever they may live.
Krissy Vale, Australia
Zumra, after he passed a lot of ups and downs, his vision is more or less achieved so he should be glad to see it. I conclude that this has not been happened before, and it will not be expected to happen for the future. It is the statement of the super natural power. Keep it up!
Martha Addisu
I am the follower of orthodox religion. In this sin full world, I am astonished extremely as I see these virtuous creatures. Perhaps if all human beings think as these people think, our world will become heaven on earth. If belief couldn’t come in to practice, saying I am believer has no meaning. God bless you!!
Kindu Fentie (Transport Office, Woreta)
If it is said the world is becoming networked globally, all people in the world should become as Awra Amba community. The Awra Amba community is not educated but it teaches others. Zumra is a philosopher who was able to create diligent, intelligent community and heaven on the earth. In Awra Amba there is big spirit. That big sprit is Zumra and work which is his philosophy. Therefore all people should take these values. We are committed to become Awra Amba.
Health professionals (in Enebsie Sarmidir Wereda)
All that I have observed are extremely incredible and all people should take it soon. Without any hesitation we should share their life experience as it is ours and I want to say we should transform our selves with a short period of time.
Abera Asfaw
I am lucky that I was able to see, talk and aware of the history of the Awra Amba community. I didn’t expect and think to be happened which many great philosophers wrote only in theory.
Mekonen Minda (Ethiopian Insurance Organization)
Awra Amba is a place where the real identity is expressed; people are able to live in coordination, collaboration, and a peaceful way. The life of Awra Amba can be the best practice that can be spread all over the world. I’ll try to announce the community as much as possible.
Biniam Demere (Addis Ababa)
Indeed, the Awra Amba community can represent Ethiopia or I have an impression the name of Ethiopia should be designated by Awra Amba. Because in Awra Amba there is belief, love, work, culture, partnership, good ethics etc. They are logical. This is what all people should accept. I have a great respect to Zumra. I called him he is an angel on earth.
Teacher Friehiwot Kassa (Nigat School, Bahir Dar)
Awra Amba is the only place that I have ever seen in my life where speech is put into practice. My God please disseminate Zumra’s ideas which could be the wealth of mankind throughout the world; address all his ideas to the whole world.
Alemayehu Ayalew (Addis Ababa)
In our region a single small candle is ignited. Small light is shone.
Wondie Engda (Organization for rehabilitation and development of Amhara)
Zumra created his own world and live within the real world. The community put into practice the ideas that the intellectuals, philosophers and governments in the world were worried a lot but failed to do so. Hence, Zumra as well as members of the community should have been loved in heart. After wards I will become the follower of this philosophy and spread it being in the place where I live. I wish Awra Amba community and followers to live forever.
Admasu Kassie (Delanta Woreda)
We felt great happiness. Because we have observed the life style, respectability of mankind loves for work and deep and good thought of the Awra Amba community in their residence today. Therefore, for the future we assure to solve these problems of the community. We are committed to teach your good philosophies.
Shambel Haile (Bahir Dar University)
The life style the community has, the way that the community’s effort in order not conflict to be occurred, the way they follow to avoid crime can be exemplary to the rest of the society and this should be supported and encouraged by the government.
Ali Mohammed Ali, Head of ANRS Justice Bureau
I was very eager to see the village. When I saw it I felt great happiness. The effort that you made to win the livelihood is incredible and satisfactory. I am looking forward to your exemplarity for the society.
Hassen Jjbril (Dessie)
I am sure that the life style of Awra Amba community is a model for Ethiopia which is less developed now days.
Begashaw Desta Metema
I’m extremely surprised when I observed the life style of the community in my eyes in reality that I watched and heard in TV and radio. It is amazing beyond I watched in TV. The social work which is accomplished by both men and women is educative for the rest of Ethiopians. Keep it up!
Aklog Desta
During my visit of Awra Amba community, I have got a great lesson on community development, collaboration and equality. So it is a great model for the country.
Abebe Tesfay (Tigray Aid Association, Mekele)
Your unity, sympathy, commitment, loves for work and social life are quite interesting and exemplary for others. So please keep it up.
Shambel Gemechu (Rift valley children and women development, Addis Ababa)
Work is the measurement of one’s identity. Culture for work is a key for development. You, the Awra Amba community, accomplished exemplary work. You are cited a model for most of us because of eliminating division of work based on sex. If we develop industriousness as you do, it won’t be difficult to bring about change in Ethiopia. Keep it up.
Aschalew Getachew (Ethiopian Radio)
Observing the experiences of the Awra Amba community make me accept that I can bring about change in my life. I wish you to be well developed.
Worknesh Mema (South Ethiopia)
I am always thinking about Awra Amba by asking where is the village reached? How is it? This is not lost in my mind any time.
Solomon Bazezew (Ethiopian Road Authority)
I have got a great chance to be able to observe the Awra Amba community not only through media but also in reality. The community led by its own vision and good values and assured to bring about a great change in a small plan. They have also clearly showed that there was no aim that could not be achieved through struggle and effort. You are our teachers.
Bereket Simon (Ministry of Information)
During my visit of Awra Amba today, I realized that it is an institute to teach an organized life style to any society. I couldn’t expect to get such a type of collage in Ethiopia.
Yitayew Abebe (Bahir Dar)
Today I noticed my life. I entered in to heaven on earth, because I entered to the Awra Amba community where the words of Jesus are found. In this place, all the words of God are put in to practice and mankind is respected. I wished peaceful life to you forever.
Birhan Gelaw
Even though changing the mind of mankind is difficult, but Zumra shows us to do so. For the future I think the Awra Amba community will have solutions for social, economical and political problems that could face on Ethiopia. They are the assets of the country. So let us hear respect and listen to them.
Akililu Taku ( Agri-Service Ethiopia)
The description about the life style, culture, vision and situation of Awra Amba community that I observe in my eye in reality is miraculous and it will be the biggest school for Ethiopians. Please continue your teaching regularly. You are quite chanceful.
Yikunoamlak Ambaye (Teklebirhan Ambaye Construction)
Zumra, I feel proud as a citizen since my country, Ethiopia, has got a person like you.
Yinebeb Derseh
Awra Ambians I love you very much. Observing your life history provides a great lesson than reading a lot of books. My wish and pray is to see you more developed and to be known by people in the world in addition to Ethiopia. I hope when I come later I will find you more developed.
Etagegn Desalegn (Elmanadensa Women’s Affair)
I am astonished by the things that I saw. Your mutual understanding, affection, brotherhood with one another becomes a model for others. In my opinion your self reliance and cooperative work is indispensable for development. I wish you to achieve what you want to achieve.
Tsegaye Woldemariam (ETV)
Zumra Nuru is the gift of mankind that he passed a lot of miserable life for the wellbeing of human beings. I will make my best effort to put his ideas in to practice starting from my family.
Teshome Sisay Mekonen
The different arts created by Awra Amba community revealed me clearly that I have done nothing till now.
Dessie G/Hiwot
It is really exciting what I saw here. Zumra is the only Ethiopian who has extremely great ideas which are promising to change the world. God give him long life. When I come to the main issue your vision can change Ethiopia which is with poverty and there shall be a TV program twice a week through Ethiopian television in coordination with the government. Keep up!! Your effort is getting fruitful. I wish you all the best.
Getahun Beshah (Sodo Buei Children and Family Development Association)
I have got attitudinal and practical changes as I saw in this community. Later on, I decided to live the rest of my life and having good behavior, replacing my thought by practice and love for mankind. Thanks God letting me see this place.
Esayas Damtew
It is an amazing culture. The ideas are not only from human beings. It is from God. We have learnt that if there is commitment for a certain objective, there will be nothing unattainable.
Birhan G/Senbet
Awra Amba is a place where I was so excited and had a great pleasure within a country where many traditional and backward cultural ties. A community which creates fundamental changes on those traditions has been evolved. It is going through the real and interesting cultural line up. This is a community that could think twice and had been to perfection. I love you. I am a member of your community being where I live. Be strong!
Samson Mekonen
I consider myself as a lucky person, being stayed in Awra Amba which is devoid of misery, suffering, selfishness and dark world at least for few hours. It is really amazing and lovely place that I have ever seen. Especially you are taking care of the elderly by love while the rest of the world exposed them for suffering. God be always with them!! Everyone who wants to see a place where life is based on truth and devotion and a place where a reliable security. It is this community and environment that we should live in.
Birush Wubet
I feel sorry by my 20 years stay in education (only at school) up to now. It would be fine if I learned only a single day here in this community. The ability of women to explain, self confidence is amazing. Even the cattle have difference. You are always in my mind.
Minilik
Different people emerge in different times. Honorable Dr. Zumra is a unique person in this time. I am eager to see his dream would be realized. I am sure it will be succeed.
Alemwork Getaw
Awra Ambians!! You are a hero and exemplary people not only for Ethiopia but also for Africa and the world as a whole. So people in the world should give you a great respect and admiration. Be strong!! Love you very much.
Ambachew Damtie Tefera (ANRS Health Bureau)
I saw really your good heartedness. If I were a governmental leader, I would take your experience and ideology as my major duty. What I advise our government now is to focus and to work hard on creating a community like Awra Amba. For the purpose of cultural exchange it is better to take some members of the community to the other society or bringing others from different regions or societies for a certain time. if this comes to real, very fast, it can at least change our way of thinking It should be done by assigning some people or a group of people from different societies or religious for short period of time. So that the experience of this community will be taken and the idea will be implemented and shared. Then our country will immediately change the habits in short times. Be strong and encouraged. God bless you. Long life for Zumra I wish him to create another history
Dereje Ayalew and Hiwot Teshome (Addis Ababa)
Indeed it is very difficult to accept the existence of exemplary experience in Ethiopia. However, according to my understanding from the visit to Awra Amba community, I noticed that the existence of practice that can transform Ethiopia proportionally to the developed countries. In this community I realized coordinative and cooperative work, love with one another, looking after elders and children, hard working and eradicating bad traditional habits and struggle for a better life. Therefore, I wish this exemplary practice become model for other parts of the country and in general, I wish in my heart to see my country to be developed.
Tesfaye Yihunie (Jecedo, Addis Ababa)
I observed that the Administration and life style of Awra Amba community is a model and useful for all. It seems for me it would be unthinkable and unachievable as a dream. But I saw it in practice on my eyes.
Mulumebet Feleke
My visit to the Awra Amba community takes precedence than any other visits that I made in my life. It makes me love other sisters and brothers of mine and hate jealousy and hostility. I hope I will come another time.
Nigatu Bedada (Washington DC)
I don’t have words how much I appreciate the Awra Amba society specially the leader of the people Ato Zumra. He is the only peace Ambassador.
Quarit Wereda
I think I couldn’t talk about another thing everywhere I go. My visit helps me to persuade others. Because I see what I heard. Along with my 8 friends, just we will talk about your good heartedness, cooperation, love and the way you are living to whom we come across. We promised to do what we can.
Fendisha Fisha with his friends
Amazingly, the Awra Amba community practiced different things that are difficult not only to practice but also to think in the Ethiopian context. I found them very much encouraged and they need practical help. How a proud community it is! This is very much pleasing. Proud Ethiopians.
Ahmed Seid (Addis Ababa University)
When a selected group from the main central media Agencies comes to report the community’s different activities, it gets an excellent accommodation here. As a journalist, we come here to work that teaches the public but we get a good lesson. The community’s industriousness, love and impartiality shall be supported by the government, the public and the others whom concerned. If this model life style is practiced by other citizens, we believe, it has a great importance so as to bring a holistic change and development.
Getachew Tesfa (Addis Zemen)
Mulat Alemayeehu (ETV)
H|Amlak Kassaye (Ethio Radio)
In the Awra Amba community, in this village, there is every key .Our mysterious key is found here. I am very much satisfied; proud too. Equally it opens my eye so as to realize that I have a very big duty to carry out. It is enough! Take courage!
Elias Getachew
Wonderful! Will it be the entrance to the home of God? I don’t know. I waste my life being selfish by wanting everything to be mine (not thinking of others). I am so envious of you. God bless your land and your consciousness. I am proud of being an Ethiopian!
Jemal Muhammad
I saw more than what I expected. Really Awra Amba is the head of Ethiopia. When I look around the village and listen to the explanations given by the founder Zumra and others seems as though they hold a first or second degree in Philosophy. Just they are literate without education.
Alem Seged W/gerima
I am very happy, being in the land of Awra Amba, in Zumra’s village, to visit this strong and enthusiastic community. You enable me to ask myself (Who am I?) and learn more things in this short time, so I appreciate you. I am sure in this strength you will arrive on another step forward.
Kedir Yimam
Awra Amba is like a mirror which shows work, culture and gender equality. This is an exemplary for the people of Ethiopia. Any Ethiopian stands beside you just you get strong and go ahead. Both I and my office stand besides you. Since one day shines a true light, it teaches us, to pass today with a strong endurance. Take courage!
Meseret Keleme Worrk
For the first time I realized that concideration and misery teaches mankind more than education does. I want to give my witness that Zumra is a philosopher who has a strong ability not only for Ethiopia but also for the whole of Africa. I promised to tell to everybody about the community.
Solomon Demise
I see that nature is the big source of lesson. Personally, I am sure that the entire world will follow this way. What surprised me is that, this great way is found in this small village which is far from any information.
Assaye Ayele
I beseech God to allow me live long and see this village become a big country.
Yelemahu Molla (Amhara TV)
Oh! Today is a very surprising day. Why because, I see in my eyes what I heard and assured the existence of hard working people in Ethiopia just like the Japanese people.
Emaway Belay
I am very surprised because it is a culture without theft, lie and bad things. It is my ambition that all people follow this vision of cooperation, love, help one another and oneness.
Fiseha Getaneh (A. A.)
I think this community teaches love and peace for the world society. Especially, their care for the elderly changed my mind towards my family. If this culture spreads rapidly, our country will be the top most soon. You are my good model.
Biyadgie Wubie (Haremaya University)
What I see and listened in Awra Amba will be my lesson for the rest of my life .perhaps, without exaggeration, this community is living brotherly by solving the basic problems of modern man which makes it unique place in our country. As a teacher, I will preach all this to my students, families, and friends.
Belachew Mekuria
Even though I saw many amazing things earlier, the living style of the Awra Amba community will be my initial stage to see myself again. Therefore, starting from today I determined to shape my future life and identity.
Maru Chekole
Zumra’s vision is very big, time taking, very useful for economic development and curbing backward traditions. Generally, since it is becoming true, in my side, I learn much and I am going to be a member.
Fentaw Kefyalew
I got a good lesson in Awra Amba. The word “helping the poor” is equivalent to the teachings of God “Love your friend like you” and the evangelical mission. I am extremely happy. I get satisfied. The founder Zumra is superior to former distinguished philosophers. I think his ideas shall be written on paper as he is a good teacher and leader.
Abba Girma Farris (Ethiopian Catholic Church)
Here, I learned that dream never remains dream. Tomorrow I want to see a better and a well constructed world. I wish my dream come true.
Solomon Kebede
You win me, I condemned myself, and I promised your culture is also mine.
Misganaw Tamrat (Bahir Dar University)
What I see today is valuable to me as a decade of lessons. Zumra’s philosophy is very useful for every man kind. It is my ambition that the future is the time he gets what he wishes. And of health for Zumra.
Belaynesh Shitaye (Amhara Development Association)
Am I happy when I see this amazing community? I don’t know. I think they are good teachers for Ethiopians; I too, get an excellent lesson. As China, you may make our country self reliant.
Wondimu
The initiation of the community for work and reputation of mankind is very useful for the people of our country. It makes me extremely proud as the community is the model of our people
Fantaye Abebaw (Livokemkem Woreda)
I am a young teacher. You are my model in my teaching profession throughout my life.
Haftu Hindia (Bahir Dar University)
The Awra Amba community is extremely great. It is far from the thinking of modern man and today’s world. I realized that it is a wide and useful source of knowledge. I realized that the community has a strong vision for tomorrow other than today.
Mesele Kassa (Hawassa)
I felt extreme proud of seeing Awra Amba community. The Awra Amba community brought about invaluable ideas like struggling for equality of mankind, struggling for participation in development, ability to be ahead of the word in development… which the world fails to achieve.
Yeneguad Estibel (Bahir Dar)
It is Zumra and his community that needs and makes efforts to prevail peace, love and good thinking of human beings and which seeks to live in a world which is full of these values. What makes me amazed is the existence of this community in a place which is surrounded by the Ethiopians as well as the Amhara traditions.
Bisrat Alemu (Action Aid Semen district coordinator)
Here I realized that – the origin, creation and religion of human beings is one and the worshiping buildings are humans themselves but not the houses that are built for this purpose. The treasures of (woman) man are his consciousness, belief and ethics which laid the basis for my life. Today I promised to follow your footsteps throughout my life.
Tesfaye (ETC)
I am proud of being an Ethiopian. Let God make you a lot in number. Let He help you with your love, harmony and friendship. I am proud of being a Gondarian.
Tesfaye Teshager
In my point of view, the Awra Amba community is the origin of work and is struggling for the new Ethiopia.
G/Meskel Mulu
I think Zumra is born in the right time. If this industriousness were practiced by other Ethiopians, Ethiopia would be free from any external aids.
A visitor that didn’t write his/her name
In my life I want to see my country, Ethiopia, being a self reliant. I found my dream here in Awra Amba. It is the responsibility of each and every citizen of Ethiopia.
Tesfaye Bantirga
I think the Awra Amba community is the top most of the world society. Even though their living place is called Awra Amba their performance is “Yalem Amba” (the world can rely on) and “Ethiopia’s pioneering idea!!
Siyuom Belay Laye Gaint
You the philosopher who said “Man in nature is selfish” is came to an end today. Because you didn’t see the Awra Amba community when you said this!!
Behayilu T/Haimanot (4th year law student)
Our world is full of miraculous things. But behind each miraculous thing there is money, educated person or force. However in Awra Amba there is nothing but love. Awra Amba has a plenty of love which the civilized and wealthy nations can never have. Here is love for work, love for children, love for the elderly and love for God as well. Where ever there is love for God there is everything. I pray God help you forever. We promised to tell for those whom didn’t see this new world and come back again with them.
D/r Eshetu Mulatu & his colleagues
Awra Amba is unique not only for Ethiopians but also for those who didn’t give respect for work. When we compared Awra Amba with the traditional Ethiopia it clearly showed us how much we are in a deep sleep! No words!
Yared Kassa
Zumra’s and the community’s living style, belief and love for work brought a new hope for our Ethiopia. I think tomorrow, the values and beliefs of the community will be spread and practiced throughout the country. Really, Zumra is a good teacher.
Abinet Solomon (Ethiopian Police, Sendafa)
You the Awra Ambas, you are the solution keys for my lovely Ethiopia. I am very happy. I am voluntary to accept your ideas. I love you very much. Take courage!
Amogne Diress
I think the ideology of this community is emerged at the right time and is also crucial for our world. I wish to see the time when all Ethiopians have the access to this great idea. I respect you very much.
Natnael Abegaz
God bless Zumra! Because of his struggle for equality and rights of human beings with a determined effort starting from his child hood. Not being beaten by misery and different problems, he showed the respect of work for the change of the world.
Mehar Tegegne Kebede
We come from Goncha-Sisso-Enebssie Woreda for cultural exchange. We understood that their life style is excellent. Even for the government it is the best way to achieve the desired change and development. We will make our possible efforts to create another Awra Amba in our surrounding.
Bamlaku Jemberie
I am sure this community is the manifestation for tomorrow’s Ethiopia.
Tewodros Begashaw
Zumra, Enaney and the rest of the community members be happy of yourself. You made the greatest assignment. It is the most attractive work and idea that I have ever seen in my life.
Mahilet Abireham
This village is a collection of intellectuals. The way they express their culture seems as if they come from higher universities. No educated people can compare to Zumra, who has a brilliant mind. The cleanliness of their house and love for humanity shows tomorrow’s Ethiopia.
Melaknesh Wajja
I will never forget what I heard and saw today. I promised to myself to practice this way of life style so as to achieve the goals of the community throughout my life. I wish Zumra live forever and spread his ideas soon!
Fekadu Tafere
Above all what makes me happy is the belief of the community in its human nature. I want to assure you that I am happy if all Ethiopians are under the administration of this community. I am proud of you.
Teacher Tewodros (Gondar)
It surprises me very much! I am sure this community unites the whole of Ethiopia. Starting from today I am your supporter.
Walelign Demilew
While I was with Ato Zumra and observing the life style of the community, I was thinking about the philosophers, whom I learned in my school life, like Aristotle and Socrates. Zumra has a vision to that he paid the value. He is somewhat different from an ordinary Ethiopian. He is a good resource for our country. Zumra is an engineer, a sociologist, a chemist, and a politician. You can see these professions from his work and speech.
Eyassu Shishigu
In my opinion, the experiences and the facts we get from you is an input not only for the country but also for the rest of the world. I promised to share my experiences to other citizens of the world.
Getnet Gebru
When I was abroad people upset me by talking about our poverty, drought and backwardness very often. I wish my countrymen to be I think my wishes come true here. Today I see a work which is a model to my people. May God bless your work!!
Tefera Zerfu (Holland)
I am very happy today because I visited this place where there is an integral and true nature of human beings. I am sure that our brother and father D/r Zumra is one of the contemporary philosophers of our world.
Getnet Biru
Definitely, five years from now the Awra Amba community can build a G+3 buildings and see it a big city. In the future, I am sure; Zumra gets a lot of followers.
Ayele Andualem Degadamot
I am absolutely delighted to see a community that is very much surprising and unique atmosphere of work and respect for humans. Your history and living style, I think, is a model for the world. Never be despair. Above all my visit to this community and your impression on me to think like you is invaluable
Sintayehu Yilma
I am extremely surprised when I see what I heard about this community. I promised to do my share to the wide-spread of this exemplary way of life and hardworking habit.
Demis Mengist (Gondar University)
I don’t expect Awra Amba like this. I found it beyond what I think and expect. I think the potential capability and the tendency to reach an agreement should never remain hidden here; rather, it should be disseminated to the world people. Thank you.
Gaddisaw (Gondar)
I don’t have words to say soothing about Awra Amba. It is wonderful. It is my dream to see history handed down from parents to children. I admire you for your unity that never exists in the rest of the world. As the will of God, I promised for myself to come back and see you another time. I love you once more. For your development I will do my share.
Selam Desalegn (Gondar University)
Of course, I came here 4 years ago. I was extremely happy. Today I find it very much changed -become a town. This community taught us to get love and peace if we have a strong desire to get them indeed. I witnessed to be a share for your ideas. One day without any doubt this place will be the teaching centers of the world society. Long live Zumra!! Love for all!!
Zewudu Huressa
My visit assures me what I heard and watched through the TV. It is a wonderful community. I wish if all humans think like this. I believe one day God unites us and can live together.
Simret Beyene
What I see in Awra Amba community is quite impressive. I am very impressed at your ideology and living style. Even though it is beyond my capacity, I am committed to struggle to practice your ideas to the end. Now onwards I am your member. Thank you.
Gezahegn G/tsadik (Addis Ababa)
This great community is working for the world peace, oneness and development, so the idea should be spread rapidly worldwide.
Tilahun Tadesse (Wolaita Sodo)
Zumra! Don’t hesitate your small start will reach to its higher level. I have never come across any one in such a poor and a developing country that has a wide dream. I don’t tell you that there are many obstacles in your way. Because you have already known it. Tomorrow this handful start will grow very big and emerge with a bright shine to the world people.
A visitor that didn’t write his/her name
The Awra Amba community is one of the places that I want to visit in my life. I have a great admiration for this community. A lot of people may talk much about many things. But few changed it to practice. The Awra Amba community speaks what it lives. I have a great respect to Jimma University as it gives Zumra his Doctorate degree for his great work.
Tesfaye Yadeta
Whenever I look the Awra Amba community, I found it the correct land of belief. It is a place where human beings live in peace, love and harmony. We all shall learn more from their principles. Awra Amba is the unique university of Ethiopians, Africans and of the world. We should keep safe this community. And give our love from the bottom of our heart. Everywhere we go we should follow their exemplary work and spread their spirits.
Bahiru Asifaw
We should work together for these sustainable and boundless values of the community.
Mr. Merhatsidik (Amhara Regional State President Consultant)
