		Meseret Defar, honorary director of the Mesgana Dancers and supporter of COEEF won the bronze medal in the Women's 5000 meter (8/22/08) and set a new Indoor World Record (2/19/09). We offer our congratulations and wish her well in her future competitions. Meseret, and her husband, Teddy, have been strong supporters of COEEF students and good friends. We appreciate all they do to support our efforts to educate the girls of Ethiopia. On our last trip to Ethiopia in January 2008 she spoke to our students over ‘speaker phone’ at the Phase Academy. Needless to say, the girls were thrilled! Thanks Meseret and Teddy!
