Abigail Solomon Haile
The reason I like Kidmia is because I learn new things and enjoy learning them. Before I came to Kidmia, I didn't know much about my culture, people, or religion.

Hirut (Mame) Tafesse
KIDMIA, the name itself was selected to remind each of us of the commitment we were making to our kids. When we first begun, it was more like an opportunity for all involved to socialize once or twice a week.

Kidist Belaineh
Life in America is great but very hectic. There is a lot of pressures in the individual family and if we do watch out we will be consumed with our individual daily lives and forget the community.

Meron Alefnew
Kidmia has really helped me learn my culture and where I came from. At first, I did not know how to read , write or speak the Amharic language. Kidmia is also a good place to talk to family members after class.

KIDMIA ranks as one of our top priorities in our household. We give it equal time and dedication as regular school and/or work, if not more. We do that because of what it stands for and what it has done for our family and for our community.

I do not know about anybody else, but Kidmia means a lot to my kids. They are always looking forward to it and now I see the same enthusiasm in Maya (2 1/2) now that she has joined.
