From Colorado to Ethiopia
Last fall, reporter Megan Verlee traveled to Ethiopia on a fellowship through the International Reporting Project (IRP). While that country is half a world away from this state, she managed to find many Colorado connections there, and she brought back a few of those stories.
Part One: Berhe Kasse, owner of the Denver Cafe chain
Part Two: Abel Ayelew, graduate of the Colorado Center for the Blind
Part Three: Keith Keyser and Bob & Nancy Sturtevant, Colorado Peace Corps volunteers
Part Four: Berke Nuguse, winner of the Diversity Visa Lottery
