On Monday, June 8th I arrived here in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia! Here are
some highlights from my first day!
- Had yummy crepes & a croissant for breakfast while looking down at
Sudan. Saw lots of desert & the fertile area around the Nile. This
made me miss Egypt.
- Ahope's Social Worker picked me up from the airport along with a
nurse and 2 of the sweet girls from Ahope.
- While driving to the guest house, we passed the UNHCR's regional
office. I not so secretly dream of working with the UNHCR someday!
I've seen their headquarters in Geneva & I was excited to see them in
Addis!
- Had injera, rice, & chickpeas for lunch with the staff at Ahope. Yum!
- Had 2 cups of, hands down, the BEST coffee I have ever tasted! I'm
not a fan of coffee, but Ethiopian coffee is amazing!
- Took a tour of Little Ahope (7 and under). The youngest is 20 days old.
- Took a tour of Big Ahope (8-15 years). Met Mom & Ralph's sponsored
child. Sweet girl!
More posts are on their way!!!
