Arbegona is a woreda (district) in the Southern Highlands of Ethiopia in what is known as the Sidama Zone. In Arbegona there is both an amazing school (gold standard), and a wonderful church with five outreach churches. WE were pleased to meet with both Pastor Taye and Principal Temesgen as we visited this region. We were amazed at the GREEN, and beauty of this area. The people of Arbegona were amazed that white people come in such small sizes (i.e., the kids) We were told that white children had never been seen in this area before.
Did you know that there are NO gas stations with restrooms on the way to Arbegona??? We do...now. 
This little guy was on his way to get water. I would love to see him in school instead. 
There is plenty of water and green on the road to Arbegona.

At this time Christians and Muslims live in relative peace in Ethiopia. The area of Arbegona claims itself as about 60% Protestent according to a 2005 census.
