People to People, who are we?
People To People, Inc. is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) governed by a Board of Directors and operating under IRS code 501 (C) (3). It was founded in April of 1999 in the state of Kentucky, USA as a non-profit organization. It has no political, ethnic or religious affiliations. It brought together people armed with the spirit of compassion to bring hope to those who find themselves in hopeless situations. P2P is globally emerging as a bridge and a network of the Ethiopian diaspora committed and willing to give back to its motherland. It has developed strategies for mobilizing the Ethiopian diaspora to provide support not just in health and education areas alone but also in other sectors of social and economic development. We invite you to be a part of this dynamic organization and be part of a solution. Our work extends further out to other African countries, but Ethiopia remains to be our primary focus.
We are headquartered in the USA with a regional office in Ethiopia but as the spirit of kindness spread, we have stretched our wings and have crossed borders to become International. We are pleased to inform you that we also now operate in the USA, Canada, Sweden and Finland.

Thank you for circulating this essay. I am a Brit who has been based in the USA since the 1960s and interested in 'management' ... both corporate business and national political / economic.. I have done some consulting work with the United Nations and the World Bank around the world and in the Horn of Africa. I have more than a passing interest in Ethiopia. My father was friendly with the British Ambassador to Ethiopia in the late 1930s and helped facilitate the safety of Haille Selassie in the UK when he was forced into exile and his return to Ethiopia in 1944. My current knowledge of Ethiopia is informed by some of the work I have done in Ethiopia and some Ethiopian friends ... but I am acutely aware that I have next to no deep understanding of the regional issues, ethnicities, cultures, languages, etc. that make up the region.
During my active working career I did assignments in many places and in most every case the root cause of conflict was national policy driven by one ethnic group which had gained some sort of control of the politics, the government and the military at the expense of every other ethnic group. Very little of this was visible except at a very superficial level in the corridors of power outside the country, and it really comes as no surprise that in the modern world where communications are so very different from yesteryear, that turmoil is the result. I think there is a Kenyan proverb which says that 'when elephants fight. it is the grass that suffers'. Most of the turmoil and competition for power at the top of society results in awful outcomes for ordinary people who are the majority of us.
I wish I could be of some meaningful help. It is said that talk is cheap ... but more talk and economic help instead of military action and violence would be progress.
