In Ethiopia we worked with a few ministries; Project 61, an orphanage, an Transition Home, and visited the Fistula Hospital.
Project 61 is a ministry that works with the families and children in a community called Korah. Korah is located by and in the city of Adsis Ababa's dump. The community started out as a lepercy community. The ministry works with the children and families there as a resorse of food formula and providing sponsoring for schooling for the children. While we split up in to groups with the children with music, crafts, and stories. Then we got to help serve the children in the feeding program lunch. We also broke up into groups into the community and went on home visits. We got to go into the families homes hear their stories and pray with them.
The orphanage we got to go to just spend time with the children there. I pretty much stayed in the baby room and held sweet babies and played with toddlers. I can not post any pictures because the children are being adopted or up for adoption. Or last time there as we were leaving we got to witness and couple coming to pick up their baby that they were adopting. It was so wonderful to get to witness that happen.
Another place we went was a transition home where children go who are in the process of being adopted and waiting for their parents to get to come bring them home. We played with the children and painted a mural in their playground.
The Fistula hospital we brought gifts for the women who were there and toured the hospital as well. If you want to learn more about the Fistula hospital there is a movie documentary of it called A Walk To Beautiful.
