The above appeal letter by the Waqbera Harari Youth Association was given to me during my recent visit to Harar. The date written on top "4/8/98" is using the 'ethiopian' calendar. In Gregorian calendar that would be April 12, 2006.
For information about calendar conversions you can click here..
The Waqbera Harari Youth Association is an organization that works to preserve the Harari culture through art and music. They are facing challenges in that regard due to lack of material and support, as those of you who can read the sabian alphabet can attest to.

The Waqbera Harari Youth Association is appealing to their fellow Hararis to assist them in acquiring musical instruments so they can do an even better job of preserving the Harari heritage. The equipments that they need are as follows:

Guitar - lead & base - $1,745 USD
Mixer - $ 6,975 USD
Amplifier / Base amplifier - $1,160 USD
