Gooooooooooal!

Our third and final day at Bethzatha Children's Home Association in Awassa was a busy room. We completed painting throughout the house, including this mural by Jan  and Rebekah. More shopping was done for household supplies. Myron Person and Randy Myers completed their two tables, and everyone pitched in to clean up our mess so the children could return to some level of normalcy. Topping it off was dinner at Haile's Resort, which is owned by Haile Gebrselassie, hometown hero and Olympic gold-medal marathoner. He had just returned home after dropping out of the New York City Marathon with a knee. Injury. Kenzie Wade and Andrew Kercher met him earlier in the day when part of our group stopped in to pick up a menu, and he posed for pictures and gave autographs when we returned for dinner.
Thursday we return to Addis Ababa for a visit to the Fistula Hospital. Friday will be a workday at the youth rehabilitation center and Saturday we'll be able to shop for souvenirs before catching our return flight Saturday night.
