Mekdes Tigist Desta
Local shoemaking and thatching
- 🇪🇹 Gondar, Amhara, Ethiopia
- Since 2004
- English
I've worked in shoemaking since 2004. I learned from my older brother and passed what I could on to 550 apprentices.
I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I make terrible puns.
I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
More about Mekdes
Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
