Here are some photos that I have the “okay” to post individually (it gets highly sensitive when dealing with adoption). Most of these were taken in Ja Ja, a small community down in a valley of Addis Ababa. A very large percentage of the people in Ja Ja have HIV. While we were there, the government dumped a giant load of asphalt, blocking the road to Ja Ja. The children are able to climb the asphalt mountain to get to school, but those who are very sick cannot leave Ja Ja to get medical care, water or food. In the slideshow in my previous post, the last two photos are of some kids climbing to the top of the asphalt heap.
These are things that I actually saw and photographed while I was there.
On the last day we were there, Eyob, the Ethiopian director of Kindgdom Vision International, named me “Sister Broken-hearted.” Yeah, a very fitting name.
