Ethiopia is the home of Lucy’s discovery claimed by science as the oldest female in the search for human beginning—dated 3.2 million years (Johanson & Edey, 1981; Foley, 1997, 2004); headquarters for Organization of African Union since its inception in 1973 (Encyclopedia Britannica Online, 2004); credited for the world heritage site of the churches of Lalibela, a building technology of ten churches hewed from solid rock (Salmon, 2003; United Nation Population Fund, 2001); the only African nation that did not succumb to colonialism, a nation with 13 months of sunshine, and a nation with a long history (Pankhurst, 1961 & 2004; Tegenu, 2004).
