<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17315/20110316/grassroots-effort-to-build-a-school-pays-off</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 16, 2011) There’s a new school building in a small community in Ethiopia thanks to the work of three SUNY-Potsdam alumni.  Alex and Kayla French and their friend Daniel Smith raised $20,000 and helped build a school in Gembeltu, Ethiopia.  For many years, classes were held under a big tree. The new, four-room school is made of mud, eucalyptus and cement. As part of our series, Moving the World, Todd Moe talks with Alex, Kayla and Daniel about their grassroots fund raising success and humanitarian work in east Africa.(A public slideshow of their work in Ethiopia will be shown this Saturday, 4:30 pm, in SUNY Potsdam&apos;s Kellas 103.)
