Welcome Home

It was without much fanfare that three kids from the rural village of Chucko left the only home they have ever know and took off for the big city of Awassa. Thankfully it was without any tears or obvious sadness that they entered the car. Many family members and most neighbors came out to wish them Bon Voyage and off they went.

Following another hard hour and a half drive in the van, we arrived at the kids' new home. The nanny, Zenebech, meet us at the apartment with a fantastic home cooked traditional Ethiopian meal of Shero, beef Doro Wat and Injera. After lunch we showed the kids around, gave them a lesson on using the front door keys, using the lights switches, and shutting the windows if they leave. We then left them alone with the Nanny, 50 birr, some books and a deck of cards.

      The boys lead the way. Welcome home!

Until tomorrow morning when we get them for school uniform shopping, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope everyone is safe and happy.

Peace
