This is the kitchen [...]

Ethiopia: Part 16

This is Lynette – happy to be in Gara (the capital city for “flies”).

The above picture is of Cindi, Matt and Ed waving bye to Molly, Lynette, Leigh and Jamie from the popular “refuge” truck.

Time out – [...]

This is priceless and worthy of its own entry….

Very few people would know this look. Here is the story….
If I have failed to tell you, Molly’s medical skill was sought after in southern Ethiopia. Just so you know, the leaders in Soyema told me that all of the Burji District had heard that there was a [...]
