Our dear Etenesh, her great aunt and baby Hadassah outside of the Mercy Center in Addis Ababa. Meeting our sponsor child was a day we will always treasure. It was so amazing to spend the day with the precious young girl we had prayed for and looked at her picture hanging on our fridge for so long. We choose Etensesh because of her dream of being a doctor. We were so blessed by her vision for her future in the midst of living in such hard circumstances. We will do everything we can to see this become a reality for her. We were told we can send her to college in Ethiopia for $50-150 per a semester. We have been writ ting letters and getting to know each other of a year and a half now. We instantly had a bond as we meet at the Mercy Center. We were so blessed to go to her home that consists of mud, card board and metal and a tarp for a roof with no running water. ( Matt saw to it that her get a metal roof and their house fixed up because it is their rainy season) She is living there with 8 other relatives. We were so humbled by their love and hospitality and pure joy over the simple gifts we brought. We had such a beautiful time together. Etenseh is a delightful girl and we just love her.
