Arbegona Campfire

One of the highlights of our trip was the rainy "campfire" we had at Arbegona school. Really it was a"program" with prayer, speaking, gifts, singing, a bonfire, and a cooked (right in front of us), sheep. I really enjoyed spending time with the teachers and talking about the joys and challenges of educating children. Side note: In Ethiopia it is not considered impolite to ask someone who they voted for in a major presidential election. Again, Ethiopians are very proud that Obama is the First United States President of African descent.

Rain did not dampen our campfire. Here is my artsy picture for the trip.

Our campfire dinner awaits us! Sheep.

Look what I have created! It's a giant outdoor wok!

"This is actually really good!"

Timmy likes it too...nothing like a gigantic plate of meat!

It's a praiser-totter!

I believe I can fly!

It is always important to take time out for play! The kids remind us of this constantly. Next up: The bigger kids school in Arbegona!
