LASA Students Support School in Ethiopia

Work that began as a class project in Austin recently led two LASA students to the village of Gundawoojha in Ethiopia.

Jack Kappelmann and Ruth Mewhinney traveled to Africa over Winter Break to begin a partnership with Tumet General Primary School.

The two, along with fellow classmate Piper Newlander and LASA grad Jakob Dörnhofer, are cofounders of the nonprofit group One Mind at a Time.

The idea for the organization began two years ago when Kappelmann joined his father on a work trip to Ethiopia.
