On December 31, 2005, "Nigist Helina--Queen of all Donkeys of Ethiopia" came leading the Donkey Mobile Library,
which was pulled by two donkeys. Yohannes reports that "Nigist Helina" was elegant. “She really looked regal,”
he says. Guests and children greeted her with applause and shouts of "Long live the Queen.” EBCEF’s guest of honor,
Weizero Fanaye, chairperson of Kebele 01 in Awassa where the Donkey Mobile Library will be serving, made a speech and cut
the ribbon. Students of Ethio-American Friendship School entertained guests and children with traditional dances of the Sidam,
Wolaita, Amhara and Gurage people, ethnic groups who live in and around Awass
