Pupils at the Homosha school in Benishangul-Gumuz state now have their teaching piano after an arduous journey reminiscent of that of Yifrashewa’s own first instrument almost 30 years before. The piano finally reached the school after an 11-hour journey by van. The foundation’s head of education in Ethiopia, also a musician, contacted one of the few piano tuners in Ethiopia, who agreed to be flown in to restore the instrument’s sound after the journey.

This piano had a less eventful journey, with Yifrashewa’s fame bringing many sponsors who helped deliver it.
