Salamno!!
That's hello in Amharic, one of the 80 official languages in Ethiopia. We arrived safely here around 6am on Saturday morning and, now, with nearly four days under my belt, have had a sweet introduction to the area. It was a sleepy Easter Sunday, though one of the most awake and lively Chruch services I've ever been to- dancing, loud music, excitement! Monday, we got a feel for the bus and taxi system here and explored the city.. Tuesday I worked with the Koshe project- a program to assist girls who previously worked in a garbage dump here in Addis.. And today we worked at the "Hope" food dispensary, and got to hang out with so many kids. I love it thus far. Another bonus: so much good fruit!! Mangoes, bananas, avocados.. And coffee!!! yeah!
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue the journey here in Ethiopia!
Much love
