Ethiopia

August 2009

I'm posting a very few of the hundreds of pictures I took in both Ethiopia & Kenya in August.

One of the highlights of both countries was the music. Ethiopian music sounds a little like Middle Eastern and is highly energetic; while Kenyan music has a real swing Swahili style. Both are wonderful to listen to.

We all went by bus from Addis Ababa to Ambo (about 2 hours). I loved the singing and friendship between our team and the Ethiopian workers.

One of our first visits was to the very poor who are sponsored by our church families. They were so delighted to receive us. The one little girl grabbing my leg wouldn't let me go. I was so tempted to take her home.
