In January of 2009 a group of 25 American Christians gathered in Ethiopia's capital city, Addis Ababa. While we each came with individual interests, passions and purposes as a group our goal was to visit and learn about Ethiopia's approach to orphan care in the face of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Upcoming posts on this blog will chronicle our daily visits to orphan care projects, including name and contact information for each organization as well as a few photos from the day.
As a group we were surprised and encouraged to see so many families, communities and churches caring for the orphaned and vulnerable children in their midst. This blog will reflect on the projects visited and the importance of supporting community-based care in Sub-Saharan Africa.
