Hi everyone! Dave here in the Ethiopian airport. It's almost midnight here and our flight leaves at around 1:35 AM. What an amazing time it's been here in Addis Ababa! Fasika has warmed up to us us over the past couple of days and is doing GREAT! Happy and healthy... she's quite a cuddler too! And she really likes sticking out her tongue (which is actually pretty long). She's so adorable!
We were without power at out hotel for at least 80% of the time and the email almost never worked. I'm not complaining.. it's just a different world here. It did become pretty frustrating when I learned that my father (who live in the same city that we do in Oregon) had some serious health problems (a stroke and minor heart attack). It was hard to get updated info... last report he's stable and improving.
We'll share pics and thoughts upon our return... we have a lot to process. But I want to thank you all again for your prayers and support. There are so many wonderful kids looking for parents here in Ethiopia. Please pray for them!
God bless!!!
Orphan Facts
According to UNICEF there are approx. 143 million orphans. There are approx. 4.6 million in Ethiopia alone. Every 15 seconds a child loses a parent to AIDS. Every 18 seconds a child becomes an orphan. WHAT CAN WE DO?
