So, I wanted to give a little bit more information about what will be happening when in Ethiopia this summer. One of my team members provided this wealth of wonderful information and I just want to pass it on to those who may be interested.

Right now, the world grieves; cries for help are heard from near and far. Right now, we see large-scale devastation from natural disasters; killing from terrorists and wars; dehumanizing injustices of human trafficking, the sex-trade, and slavery; loved ones suffering from cancer; hopes and dreams destroyed through the economic downturn; and loneliness within the masses.

I woke up in the bed provided by Ann because she was so hospitable to allow us to stay there for the night, very nice. As I was waiting on my ride (that should have arrived an hour earlier), I talked with Ann about what she has going on. As it turns out, she and [...]
Jane is to speak at a church in Mbale today. The car was supposed to arrive at 8am to get Jane there around 9am and I was going to ride into town as well with some of the guys from the orphanage to help me get some computer setup complete. Of course, we [...]

Of course, breakfast again is bread with butter and bananas. But, I got a ride into MBale early in the morning. I sent another email to Patrick proposing an offer to hire him as a director of the business. After more discussions with Jane, I can see that she really wants to have the business [...]

I then picked up a ride into the city, Mbale, to check out potential locations for the internet café as well as to see what other internet cafes in the area have to offer. Surprisingly, for Africa, I was able to accomplish these tasks quite [...]
I am pleased to say that I did have breakfast this morning. I paid the attendant the night before and my food arrived before the time I requested; I was quite surprised. A simple breakfast – fried egg (couldn’t find a yolk), 2 pieces of bread, 2 bananas, and some tea. I [...]
I slept under the mosquito net; a slightly different experience. I am very happy to have running hot water for a shower. I spent the morning requesting room service for breakfast only to have nobody show. No breakfast this morning. I also hand-washed my dirty clothes in the sink. (Thanks [...]
