Issayas: Briefly, would you tell us about yourself?
Dr. Ghirmai Negash: I want to start in Eritrea.
I was born and raised in Eritrea. I am a Tigrinya-phone Eritrean. As a child, I attended quite a few elementary schools, including in Idaga-Arby (Asmara), TeraEmni, Adventist Mission School in Asmara, and Haile Selassie Junior Elementary School (Asmara).
