In Ethiopia the people are chopping down trees. Are they doing anything to reduce the amount of wood they use or trees cut down? Are they replanting trees in the place of the ones they cut down?
Do they have any funding system or taxing used for creating paved roads, hopitals, and schools? Or is it donated by people and organizations not through the government?

1. Is there a reason the population is getting so big?

2. What percent of the population is considered "wealthy".

3. Did some children have to stay home and help out with things? Is it sort of a privilege to go to school?

What exactly is Project Mercy?
It said that students sometimes go to universities. What are they like?

It was mentioned that the women carry all of the supplies on their back. I was wondering if there is anything else in particular that is different about how women are treated compared to here. Are they treated as if they are dirt?

During the rainy season does it rain a lot every day? Is it like the monsoon season in India with floods all of the time?

What all have the students learned if they graduate in 10th grade?

Why is the population increasing if there is not enough food, children can't go to school, and there are no jobs for adults?

How wealthy is a person who is considered wealthy be Ethiopian standards?

Is there any way at all that the people of Ethiopia can cut back on the amount of woods they use, or is there a another material source that they can use?

1. When (and why) did Ethiopia become so power that only places like the hospital had electrcity lines?

2. Who are the people in the government? Are they educated and wealthy, and are there any people who represent the poor?
