Eritrea is a small country in the horn of Africa. It is bordered by the Red Sea, Sudan, Dijoubti and Ethiopia. Approximately 85 percent of the populat Because Eritreans have been under colonial or alien domination for over 100 years, they have developed a strong sense of cooperation and desire to continue their culture. Reflecting this background, the Eritrean Community Association in Seattle and Vicinity was founded in 1983. This organization teaches Eritrean children their language and culture, has a tutoring program and sponsors new refugees.
