New York (Tadias) – Former CNN news anchor Daryn Kagan reports on the inspirational story of Sebri Omer, an Ethiopian immigrant who built a hospital in his hometown of Harar and recently delivered the city’s first fully-equipped ambulance.

Omer, who emigrated from Ethiopia to the United States as a young man and built a successful small business as owner of a gas station and a car wash, had to sell half of his business to help finance his projects in Ethiopia.

Daryn Kagan tells his story through her website darynkagan.com and in her book, What’s Possible.
