Helmy and Shelley were invited to attend a huge race in Arba Minch, where 10 athletic scholars from Girls Gotta Run were competing.
Two of the girls ran in a top division and placed very well! Hundreds of people came out to participate in the race. To warm up, they danced and had a great time.
It was a fun intro to Ethiopia for Helmy.
Check out the photos of the 10 girls who competed, Girls Gotta Run program manager Kidist Daniel and Coach Amsale.
Thank you to Kidist and Amsale for investing so much into the girls to help them build confidence, life skills and a hope for the future.
