Chiropractor Makes A Difference In Ethiopia
January 12, 2011 – 7:35 pm | No Comment

New York, NY–January 12, 2011–This past August, chiropractor and Friends of Fresh and Green board member, Dr. Gregg Rubinstein made his second trip to the school.  On this trip he was able to adjust all the students, some of their mothers, the staff,  and even some of the neighbors.  Everyone was very open to the idea of improving their health naturally even though they had never heard of chiropractic care before.  (There are only three chiropractors in all of Ethiopia.) Through an interpreter, Dr. Gregg was able to gain the trust of everyone quite quickly.  He even walked a great distance to adjust one of the student’s mothers who had been sick in bed for months.

“Being able to share my expertise and skill to help so many people was such an amazing and rewarding experience,” says Dr. Gregg. “I look forward to future visits to the Academy and working with our students and their loved ones to promote wellness.”

Dr. Gregg has a successful chiropractic practice in mid-town Manhattan. Read more about his experience through the “Friends of Fresh and Green Blog.”

Graduation 2011!
July 10, 2011 – 1:39 am | No Comment

On July 3rd, twenty kindergartners from Fresh and Green Academy took part in commencement celebrations. Long time sponsor and “Friend” of Fresh and Green Academy, Daniel Redda, delivered the commencement speech and distributed diplomas. The students preformed traditional dances and all family members, friends, and staff were able to enjoy a wonderful meal. Everyone had a great time and the children were so grateful to be part of something they would never have been if it weren’t for Muday Mitiku and Fresh and Green Academy

The students will remain at the academy but advance to the first grade and continue to benefit from the food and care they currently receive.

Next year grade 4 will be added and all 111 students will have the opportunity to thrive and one day make a difference in their world. This is only possible though because of the help they receive from our generous supporters.

Thank you and congratulations to all the students!
