BOOK A LECTURE
We are more than willing to appear before an audiance and give lectures, both about our projects in Ethiopia and about Ethiopia as a pivotal point for East Africa's historic and cultural developement. A lecture costs DKK 5.000, which all will be used in our projects.
And thereby give Ethiopian children a possibility to go to school
If you remember E.L.S.A. in your will, you will give Ethiopian children a possibility to go to school which they might otherwise not have had.
If you want to leave an amount by will to our aid in Ethiopia, you will have to make a will or add our organisation to your present will.
To remember Etiopian children in your will is both considerate and noble. Your gift will be a valuable contribution to children who really need a better future.
The artists have helped in many other ways too. Among other things some of them have visited our projects in Ethiopia, where they have decorated school buildings and have taught the Ethiopian children about art.

ARTISTS IN THE SCHOOL PROJECTS
Four Danish artists have taken part in the decoration of the school project in Bahir Dar. They are Gunnar K. Hansen, Steffan Herrik, Birgitte Thorlacius and the late Frede Troelsen.
Especially Gunnar Hansen has visited the school projects several times, and both he and the others have worked together with the Ethiopian artist Mulugetta about the decoration.
Gunnar Hansen writes about his visits:
"I have visited Ethiopia and the school projects four times and have every time seen the childrens joy over learning and schooling. I have no doubt that it means something to them. Besides I have had the pleasure to manage several decorations on the outside and inside of the buildings together with a local artist. At one of the decorations I was together with two Danish colleagues. I can only urge you to support the organisation, that makes sense."
Steffan Herrik writes:
"The school project in Bahir Dar, learning for life. When you are at the school, your first thought is: It is usefull to make an effort here. Even if it may only be the drop that hollows the stone, then the stone hollows. The childrens smiles and pride over going to school and be "students" is worth it all, they radiate pride, joy and gratitude.
Learning, knowledge and education is the way forward for a vital and vigorous Africa. The basis of a good life is a well functioning schooling. It makes sense that we as human beings on the same planet only are real humans because of each others and the community. Rich is he who gives. Knowledge is power, knowledge is the future. Our life on this wonderful planet is our common life."
The artist Helle Thorborg visited ELSAs project at the Ewiket Lehibret School in Addis Ababa in the year 2000. She writes about the visit:
"The school in Addis Ababa is an examplary projekt. I visited it in December 2000 in the morning, where a flood of children in blue school uniforms greeted us with shouting and waving in the school yard. They were prepared for the visit from Denmark and greeted us as were we royal. In an orderly manner they spread in the class rooms, 120 children in each room, packed like sardines in a tin they sit, and here is so quiet that they can drink in the teachers words, priviledged as they are - those who get the possibility to go to school.
Often they have to walk many kilometres to and from school, and they tell proud and with a big smile: "I am a student". The education, the knowledge is crucial for the children of Ethiopia, if they shall be able to live a decent life in the future. Therefore it is so important that we in the rich part of the world supports an idealistisk project like this."
Other artists who have visited ELSA's school projects are the Danish-Icelandic Olafur Eliasson with whom ELSA has cooperated about a total restauration of Kechene Childrens Home i Addis Ababa. In addition Lars Ravn, Olaf Sørensen, Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen, the German artist Thomas Demand and the Danish-Ethiopian artist Etiye Dimma Poulsen. ELSA owes them all a great thank you for their help.

On Saturday, September 26, 2015 we held a large art auction at the art Museum ARoS in Aarhus. The auctioneer Frederik Bruun Rasmussen from Bruun Rasmussen Art Auctions, Copenhagen, led the auction over 76 donated works from 67 artists.
We had looked forward to the auction - and worked hard for it - and luckily we experienced it as a succes. The net result was DKK 330,000, and this amount of money will over the next year be exchanged for more school buildings and installations in Ethiopa. Many Ethiopian children will thank the donating artists for that.
I hereby want to thank the many artists who have once more supported our work in Ethiopia. Without their help it would not have been possible. Also thanks to the many volunteers who have helped around the auction, thank you to ARoS for housing and help, and not the least thank you to Bruun Rasmussen Art Auctions who have led the auction without salary.
Kind regards Gert Jensen
Chairman of ELSA
It is still possible to see and download the auction list here to the left and to see and blow up photos of all the works.

Our latest big art auction took place on June 11 2014 at the Copenhagen art gallery "Den Frie". It gave us great joy that we found so much support from the art world: No less than 58 artists donated works of extremely high quality!
ELSA wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to the many artists and to the contributing art galleries.
The auction was succesfull in that together we raised Dkr. 300.000 for ELSA's work. We may have liked this amount to be higher to benefit more people, but all in all the result must be seen as fine.
We should like to give our sincere thanks to all for your contributions towards giving children a possibility to better their lives.
Great thanks are due to all our helpers at "Den Frie", who have all worked without fees; in particular we wish to thank Malene Natascha Ratcliffe, who have followed ELSA's work for many years, and who have entered into the art project with inspired dedication.
Many thanks to Jesper Bruun Rasmussen, who saw to the proper conduct of proceedings at this fine auction.
Last but not least we wish to thank Olafur Eliasson for opening the auction, indeed for his support and cooperation of our work for many years now.

On Saturday, November 17th 2012, we held yet another exhibition and auction over works of art donated by artists from Odder, Denmark.

KUNSTEN in Aalborg
Our latest, large art auction was held on April 2nd, 2011, at the art museum KUNSTEN in Aalborg, Denmark, and it was a warming surprise to experience unprecedented support from the artists: no less than 81 artists donated no less than 91 works in total of a very high quality. We would like to express our deeply felt and warm thanks to the long list of artists.
The proceeds from the auction amounted to DKK 740,000, which was extremely satisfying.
Many warm thanks to our cooperation partners at the auction in Aalborg warmly - they all worked extremely professionally and free of charge:
- First and foremost the art museum KUNSTEN in Aalborg, especially Curator Gitte Ørskou, who not only put up facilities and resources at our disposal, but also, in a very inspiring way, engaged herself in the preparations.
- Secondly, Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers, who took on full responsibility both for an exciting pre-auction at their homepage, which brought the donated works out to a broader audience, and for the physical auction at KUNSTEN.
- And finally, the advertising agency PRAVDA, which again proved willing to engage in the difficult ping-pong with respect to designing and producing the auction catalogue and other information materials.
The auction was held at the so called "square" in the museum

The 79 pieces of work was put on display from Tuesday, Nov 11, at the socalled "Torv", in the north-east corner of the ground floor of ARoS, where there is free admission.
The auction took place on Saturday, Nov 22. It was opened precisely at 2:30PM with a warm welcome from the museum's director, Jens Erik Sørensen, followed by a few words by ELSA's chairmain, Gert Jensen.
The auction was led with authority and humor by Peter Tholstrup from Bruun Rasmussen auctioneers.
The total proceeds of the auction amounted to app. 800.000 DKK (100.000+ EUR), which was very satisfying.
We would like to offer a special thank, especially to all the artists who donated to this auction, but also to all the individuals and firms, who took part in arranging and carrying through this auction.
