Here we are reunited with some of the kids from our group in Ethiopia. It is an amazing and wonderful treat to get to see them every year. We marvel at how they have grown, how they have stayed the same, and watch as they look at each other with suspicion. They tell you in a workshop before you travel that these are people you will know for life, so embrace it. They are the only people who did this at the same time you did, were there for the tears and smiles at the beginning, and, in our case, helped us through an incredibly scary and stressful time. I feel privileged to call them all friends and know that we will call them that for the rest of our lives.
I had to put in all the pictures because it was just a funny succession of pictures, trying to get them to look at us!
We don't know how much the kids actually remember of each other but they had a great time playing together. Soccer was the name of the game for much of the afternoon.
