Wednesday Pics from Addis Ababa

Wednesday - the end of the school year celebration - we traveled over an hour outside the city with about 80 children to enjoy some larger areas of land to play in and experience the "end of school year" program that the staff and children had put together. Team Ethiopia put on ACTIVITIES & GAMES once the program was completed that afternoon and after lunch was served. Here is a glimpse of the day in pics:

Excitement about the day was even present in the kids from a bus window as we drove past!


A few pics of the local life on the way to the park

Thanks for all the beautiful pics Kelly. I really enjoyed seeing the kids and reading your blogs while you and Heather were there. I can tell you both experienced something special.
