Little S.

One little girl could be any of yours who is at Little AHOPE. Of all
the kids here, she is the one that I have to keep reminding myself is
HIV+ and an orphan. Perhaps it is because she is so chubby, has
gorgeous hair that is curly one day and braided the next or just her
fantastic smile. I would say she is about 2 and a half and is very
smart. She can count to 10 in English and knows many Amharic songs.
She's not clingy but likes to be held up high. I hope she is one of
the one's who has a placement!!!!

Selam, our Housekeeper!!!

Our housekeeper is very nice. She cooks breakfast: french toast,
crepes, eggs which look weird and have strange things in them,
breakfast pizza with onions, tomatoes, and jalepeno peppers. She does
make coffee in the morning but it is not good, which is surprising as
the rest of the coffee we've had has been great! We use a lot of jam
on our breakfasts, but it is always filling. She has two daughters,
aged 10 and 13, we saw pictures.
There is now a washing machine at the house!!! So, when the holy
trinity of water, power and daylight occurs, you can get your clothes
washed.... it's happened once.
And yes to whoever asked, our water is connected to our power as the
well is up in the sky in back and needs power to move the water.
