Ethiopian Airlines is excited and proud to once again sponsor the Mesgana Dancers for their 2007 USA Millennium Tour. Last year’s tour was very popular and the
demand was so great for the girls to return; that it was decided to have the girls do an encore tour for the summer of 2007. The Mesgana (which means ‘gratitude’ in Amharic) Dancers comprises of young girls, ages 7-12, who are sponsored by the Children of Ethiopia Education Fund (COEEF) program and all attend schools in the Addis Ababa area. They perform a stunning display of authentic cultural dancing and singing from several regions of Ethiopia including Amhara Wollo, Tigray, Oromo, Guragi, Wolita, and Konso regions of Ethiopia.
