We had a fun day yesterday.  Ruth and Yeabsra invited us a couple of weeks ago to their Parents' Day at their private school, True Way Parents' Academy.  It was yesterday morning and we took them to it.  Their father is working in Tigray and their mother could not get off work at her hair salon so we are SO glad we could go!  Ruth (12) was the announcer for the WHOLE program and looked SO pretty in her traditional dress.  It started an hour late and lasted another 2 hours.

She also did an Ethiopian dance with

a boy in her class. I got it on video.

Ruth (left top and center) was #2 student in her school!

They brought out dabo (bread) and lit a candle

to celebrate.  They use dabo instead of birthday

cake on birthdays too.
