Facts from the horse mouth:

What to do first to impact
nutrition?
Teach (Mr Tefera B) the senior program
manager in Amhara mentioned in the
interview that capacity building has to be
cascaded to the lower level district/woreda
as the execution site is there and impact is
expected at the stage.
Debre Zeit (also known as Bishoftu) is
located 47km. south east of Addis
Ababa. It is one of the most frequented
excursion towns for Addis Ababa
dwellers for its richness in crater lakes
teemed with aquatic birds. Transfer to
Debrezeit to visit the crater lakes of
Babogaya, Bishoftu and Hora and stay in
nature and also relax at high end resorts.
The traditional Oromo thank giving for
God ceremony takes place in Autumn at
Lake Hora.
There are more than fifteen crater
depressions around the town of Bishoftu,
out of which only five were filled with
permanent water. One of these dry
depression was later filled by diverting
the woldecha River (tributary of the Mojo
River) to form an artificial lake called
Kuriftu which is being used for local
irrigation.
The Bishoftu Crater Lakes were formed
as a series of Volcanic explosion craters
in the vicinity of the town of Bishoftu
located 50km south-east of Addis Ababa
at an altitude of around 1,950m.a.s.l
There is also another small crater lake
called Ziquala located around 15km east
of the town of Bishoftu filling the circular
vent of the magnificent Mount Ziquala at
much higher altitude.
Excluding the non-crater Cheleka
swamp, the main Bishoftu Crater Lakes
are Hora (Hora-Arsedi) or Bet Mengest)
Bishoftu-Buda (Babogaya or Pawlo),
Hora-Hado, Hora Kilo (Arneguade), and
Kuriftu.
The depressions are surrounded by rims
of ejected beds and are considered as
explosion craters or maars. Circular
shape and steep crater rims
characterized these lakes. The diameter
of the explosion circular craters ranges
from 0.5 to 1km .2
The rim of some of the craters is slumped
and triangular notches are common. The
level of the lakes is generally below the
surrounding plains. The main source of
water comes from precipitation and
surface runoff from their small
catchments. Groundwater is likely to
contribute a lot to some of them.
Cliffs and scattered trees that grow on
these cliffs make up the major habitats
surrounding the lake. The phytoplankton
is dominated by blue-green algae,
particularly Microcystis aeruginosa and
Oscillatoria spp., and there
are some fish, although not
much fishing is done.
Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and
vitamins such as D and B2
(riboflavin). Fish is rich in calcium and
phosphorus and a great source of
minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine,
magnesium, and potassium. The
American Heart Association
recommends eating fish at least two
times per week as part of a healthy diet.

It is Your Turn to be the True Leader
that Our Planet is Looking for
Author: System (Dr Sisay)
Dear participants of the 4th Nutrition
Leadership Program. This is a call of
action for each of us. It is because of the
urgency and the need for immediate
response. The world is crying for a true
leader. This is because of not only we are
desperate of the situation we are in but
we look for hope and a better future for
us as well as our next generation.
Though many strive for to be a True
Leaders, our planet continues to face the
same challenges that were faced
hundreds years ago.
Why not we continue to look for someone
else? Can we be part of the solution? Did
not we be that True Leader our planet is
looking for? If we continue to search for
the generation to come we may not be
able to see those True Leaders to come.
Does each of us think forward to release
our potential to be that True Leader?
Personally I believe so. That is also the
aim of the 4th Nutrition Leadership
Program. This will give enlightenment for
each of us to be that True Leader which
our planet, continent and country is
looking for. Are we seriously ready for
that?
By definition that True Leader inspires to
innovate, devotes to discipline, induce
curiosity for creativity, pursue people
towards commitment, aims for
disciplined life, sticks with confidence,
serves selflessly and strives for success.
Cannot you and me strive to fulfil this
definition? Instead of this definition works
for someone else why not you and me
work for this definition to work for us.
“Be the change that you want to see in
the world”—the words from Mahatama
Gandhi will still reverberate persistently
in the heart and minds of people aspiring
to become a True Leader because that
marks the change in a character
overturning an ‘individual’ into ‘crème de
la crème’. This is now the time and the
turn for each us to be that true individual
who will commit his life like what the
former True Leaders has made.

A True Leader involves and directs

people towards the right course, prompts
their interest and motivates them to work
harder with dedication, gives them the
power to make decisions, leads them
through thick and thin, benefits them with
the results, and lives what he preaches.
Cannot you make this happen?
