Finally, my dream has come true. This is how it all started with the Missailidis family in Ethiopia.
Grandfather Dimitri went to Ethiopia from Greece to join forces with his brother Michael, who was a merchant there. While working in Gimbi, a town in the western part of Ethiopia, grandfather met grandmother Workenesh Kounbouri — and from this encounter, my father Menelaos and aunt Anthoula were born. Menelaos is the first child in the Missailidis family.
Years later, while in Dire Dawa, my father met my mother Tereza Habtemariam.
