Rethinking Impact – Yoftahe’s Vision for Supporting Ethiopia | Ethiopia is Calling Episode 2

EPISODE NOTES 🎙️ In this episode of Ethiopia is Calling, I speak with Yoftahe, a Lycée Guebre-Mariam alum who challenges the idea that making a difference in Ethiopia requires being physically present. Through mentorship, cross-cultural connection, and a deep sense of responsibility, Yoftahe reimagines what it means to support Ethiopia—creatively, intentionally, and on his own terms. 🌍 His story invites us to rethink impact itself: not as a fixed path, but as something shaped by personal values, unique skills, and a commitment to community—wherever you are. 🔔 Subscribe to hear more stories that expand how we define success, belonging, and contribution across borders. 🎧 New episodes dropping soon — featuring voices from those who’ve returned, stayed, or found new ways to answer Ethiopia’s call.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
