​In May of 2016 staff members of A Chance In Life Gabriele Delmonaco (President/Executive Director) and Lauren Ross (Director of Development and Communications) visited Boys' & Girls' Towns of Ethiopia. Gabriele and Lauren attended the monthly meeting of the 100 high school girls in our program.

"First of all, I am happy to welcome all of you today to the 2016 program. I will be presenting the progress of our new project that has started this year.

It is almost going to be a year since the project started. I have hopes that the things that weren’t finished will be finished before the end of the year.
