The Tesfa folks are in Ethiopia.
With the average fertility rate of six kids per family, many of us have extended family 9,000 miles away.The idea that M&m's brothers and sisters, and cousins and friends, may have an opportunity to go to this school, is almost too much for me to comprehend.
Forgive me for asking before, now, and over and over in the future. For me this has become a sort of family emergency.

We understand the feeling. I am excited to see this come together Julie!
ReplyDeleteI feel it too Julie. Many times over the past few weeks, while I've been plotting and planning, the thought that our own relatives will be directly affected by this school has brought me to tears.
ReplyDeleteIt is beyond comprehension.

ReplyDeleteJulie, my daughter is from the Kembata area as well, although I don't know which village - yet. I am so much in awe of what you're doing with the school and library. Thank you from our family and relatives there!!
