Back to Addis - Day 5 - June 29th

This day was full of travel back to Addis. We left part of our team in Durame as they had meetings this week regarding the hospital work. Before departing for our journey home Dr. Fikru said something to us that brought tears to our eyes. He gave us a hug and told us not to forget about what is happening here. We will hold those words with us forever.

With those words we depart. As opposed to writing about this day we will just put up some pictures, besides my grammer and spelling are horrid. We head 6 hours back to Addis spend time with the kids at the care center and then off to a cultural dinner.

(thanks Matt for letting me use some of your pictures they turned out amazing)

WOW - words cannot express the impact that your words have made. What a desparately severe life.
The orphanage had to be impressive, but thank God, literally, that it exists. I am sure that the pictures and your experiences will mean a great deal to Millie when she is older.
