Wings To Neverland

Ethiopia – 12 Things You (Possibly) Didn’t Know

A Chance In Life Season 1 Episode 6

In this eye-opening and laughter-filled episode of Wings to Neverland, Peter and Wendy take you on a journey to the heart of Ethiopia—a country that’s not just ancient, but absolutely extraordinary. This is the first installment of our new series, “12 Things You (Possibly) Didn’t Know About…”, where we uncover wild, wonderful, and unexpected facts about the countries where A Chance In Life works.

Did you know Ethiopia has a different calendar and tells time differently? That it’s the only African country never colonized? That a goat accidentally discovered coffee? From lava lakes and rock-hewn churches to barefoot Olympic champions, ancient alphabets, and a national legacy of resilience, this episode is packed with awe-inspiring stories and fun facts that will leave you wondering, why didn’t I learn this in school?

But we also go deeper—highlighting A Chance In Life’s impactful programs in Addis Ababa and rural Emdibir, where we’re supporting girls like Rehimush, who went from struggling to buy school supplies to earning her college degree and mentoring other young women.

This episode is a celebration of culture, community, and the power of education to change lives—delivered with the usual Wings to Neverland charm, curiosity, and coffee-fueled enthusiasm.

Listen now and take flight with us to Ethiopia—where history lives, futures are being built, and magic is real.

Second star to the right… and straight on till Addis!
