I had a great time once again, overseeing the project in Ethiopia... It was a LOT of work this year, since I didn't have a team there with me to help out, but I managed, and it was SO WORTH IT!
A HUGE Thank You, to all of you that purchased items in the auction, and made donations... without you, the project just wouldn't happen! Hope you enjoy the pics (or fruits of our labor, as I like to call them!)!
