Update

Mr. Amharic
One little boy at Little A, I will refer to as Mr. Amharic, as he
spends a lot of his time, pointing out items and telling us the word
in Amharic. He is very patient and will repeat the word. For example,
shoes are chammas. When we first got to Little A, Mr. Amharic seemed
very unhappy and if you were with another child, he would try to hit
you, which was very concerning. The only activity that he liked was to pretend box-- where he would hit your hands when you put them up, like he was boxing. But with the more time we've spent with him, and let him teach us, he has definitely warmed up. He is really such a great kid who is actually very patient and able to wait for us now that he has decided that we are friends.

Girma, Our Internet Saviour
Girma, the owner of the internet site is awesome. We stop most days we have power and ask Internet allay and he will say yes, or yellum,
which is without or not working. It is slow but super cheap, like
$1.20 US an hour. He also does copies and laminating. And he always
stays close by to help trouble shoot.
