I had a very eventful and successful journey visiting the East AfriCare projects in Ethiopia this past ten days. I documented their work with interviews and imagery - and will be creating a website and assisting in additional creative needs going forward. We went first to the Deaf School (with 350 students) and Medical Clinic in Addis Ababa and then flew south to the state of Sidama. There we witnessed one of the Water Wells (over 725 so far that they have sponsored) being drilled in a very remote area - and then we met with government officials of Awasa regarding the plans for future drillings. We then visited two additional Deaf Schools (150 students) in the same area.
The journey was quite extraordinary. Ethiopia is a very diverse country – from Addis Ababa, the modern and chaotic capitol of seven million, to the remote backroad villages of the south, the ebb and flow of life is amazing to experience.
