Interviewed for the VOA Tigrigna program's People-to-People feature, Woldu and Tekle say their journey to the United States and their first years in America were accompanied by plenty of challenges. Tekle now owns one of the best-known restaurant-bar businesses in Washington, while. Woldu runs a successful car rental enterprise in different locations. He also invests on and manages real estate.
