How Do You Do (Ethiopia Edition): Majka Burhardt

How Do You Do has been created to profile some of Vancouver's most awesome people about what they are passionate about.

Here she visits the coffee elder Ato Sha'le Bokal to show him his image in print for the first time, with a translating assist from transport captain and coolest man in Ethiopia Teddy Berhanu.

The project is raising money for imagine1day, whose mission is to create sustainable access to quality education for every Ethiopian.The universe keeps sweeping Majka back to Ethiopia. It keeps calling her attention to whole categories of stories to tell that no one has ever heard before, often even the people who inhabit this amazing and dynamic country. Coffee Story is her second book about Ethiopia, and is the product of deep exploration into ancestral coffee-growing traditions that sprouted out of the map everywhere she looked. (The previous book, Vertical Ethiopia, documents Majka's pioneering rock-climbing expeditions to the Northern province of Tigray. PS she is also a pro climber.)
