Past Projects

Prior to the establishment of ADSAA, the following projects were completed by former students of the Azezo Demaza schools: Projects completed by ADSAA

1. Construction of a small conference hall for the high school at a cost of about 7,000 US dollars. This project was completed in 1997, and was fully funded by twelve alumni residing in various states of North America. Teachers and community members in Azezo have helped complete the construction.
2. A group of eight alumni collected a total of 2,000 US dollars and have sent the money to one of the elementary schools to help defray the costs of construction.
3. Several alumni members in the Washington DC and Baltimore area have been helping the soccer team and other sporting activities of the school and the town for a number of years up until 2005.
4. The late Ayesanew Kassa, an alumnus of the school, and his wife Jean Bailey of London have been helping some of the schools in several ways since the early nineties. Their help include coordinating and providing funds for outstanding students, sponsoring some students who are unable to cover some school expenses and in general helping and coordinating any help for the school in ways that matter most. Following the passing away of her husband, Jean has established a Trust in Ayesan name. She is doing a marvelous job in helping one of the elementary schools in significant and crucial ways. Jean is very dear to Azezo students all the alumni and her continuous effort to help the schools is one of the brightest spot in the school history.
