Today is FLAG DAY here in Ethiopia! We drove into the city center and flags were EVERYWHERE!  Every bus had one on the front, guys were selling flags all over and people were walking down the street waving flags! They really celebrate their holidays (Holy Days) here!! There
are SOOOO many!!

We also visited the Abenezer Orphanage today!
It was NOT easy to find!! We took an Ethiopian friend
with us.

This is a room for 2 -4 yr. olds.  All of the cribs and beds
were handmade by someone and painted bright colors!

"Hilena", who is soon to be adopted by Amy (Greer) Kroff.
For you 46th ward friends, she is Angela Henrie's sister!
That is how we heard about this place!  What a DOLL!

Associated with the Orphanage is a program for single
moms to teach them skills such as weaving, sewing,
jewelry-making, hair dressing, manicures, food preparation,
etc.  We were VERY impressed with that! They sell what
they make so I bought a few things! : D

This is the lady who wove my scarf.  : D

Hilena was SO darling.... but a bit afraid of us.
