“At the funeral of my son Mathiwos, I did not cry; I was in deep grief,” said Ato Wondu Bekele.
Mathiwos Wondu, who would have been 22 today, was born on Meskerem 13, 1996 (E.C.), and passed away from cancer. In remembrance of little Mathi and children living with cancer, Mathiwos Wondu – Ethiopia Cancer Society, together with the Greek International School, organized an exhibition, bazaar, and stage program.
Ato Wondu Bekele, founder and Executive Director of Mathiwos Wondu – Ethiopia Cancer Society, explained that the sorrow he experienced during his son’s illness and passing compelled him to establish the Society. He added that this grief finds healing through the project called “Healthy Africa,” which provides free treatment for the poor.
