You are a brave girl to start this project. I can see that you have enjoyed yourself while filming which is a virtue that you will need to conquer the heart of Merkato. Good luck and next, I hope, is going to be Piazza! Good luck and can't wait to see the film.

Thank you Solomon!!!
Creator Solomon Bekure on August 28, 2011
This young aspiring female Ethiopian film maker deserves encouragement for filming the largest open air market in Africabefore disappearing soon giving way to high rise buildings and modern malls. I commend her for her imagination and courage to film MERKATO. We can support her, not only through our donation, but also by getting the word around on our social network that her project is real and urging our social contacts to support her like we are doing. Little donations made by great numbers make a difference.
Creator Mike Endale on August 27, 2011
I am so looking forward to see Merkato's story told by someone as caring as you. Congrats on your success so far. We'll be by your side to see this through.

Creator Tsega Belachew on August 26, 2011
Thank you for working so hard to give voice and vision to the stories of the real people in Merkato! It's a beautiful thing when African stories can be told the way they should be to give light to truth - from the personal perspective.
