Description:
Sintayehu
Tesale is an Ethiopian carpenter. But not only. He is an inspiring
person; one of those who leave a mark on you when you meet him. He is
persevering, he is positive, he boosts your strength, he encourages
you to stand up. He is, in summary, a motivational person. Maybe,
part of this strength comes from his own struggles, from his own
experience, from the fact that he is one of the few carpenters in the
world who does not use his hands, but his feet, due to an undiagnosed
disability. This is the story of Sintayehu, the story of his life.
