So, it looks like I am collecting children's gummy vitamins, sterile gloves, craft projects... toy cars, ABC stuff..... and planning on purchasing clothes, shoes, bedding in Ethiopia!!
Oh and in a couple of funny coincidences, I met a new friend who adopted twice from Layla and an acquaintance who is #2 on the referral list for her agency for a baby from Ethiopia. Small world!!
Yay for the ABC stuff! I think that will help with transitions for adopted kids and learning English in school for all of them. Do you know if they have a regular DVD player or one that is unique to ET? I have a hankering for collecting some kids' DVDs for them, maybe not for you to transport, but for sometime. I can't describe how much comfort Selam got out of seeing Mary Poppins here, when she saw it first there.
I started this blog to document my trip to Ethiopia. I am headed to Addis Ababa next summer to volunteer with AHOPE. AHOPE is home for children who are HIV+ or who have AIDS. There are two campuses and I will have opportunities to work directly with the children, staff and community. It is a lifelong dream of mine to have an opportunity to make a humanitarian trip and I hope that you will all support me as I make this happen in June of 2009.
AHOPE: African HIV Orphans: Project Embrace- AHOPE was founded in 1997: they provide housing, education, food, and love to children living with HIV/AIDS in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
