Selam! Peace! Hello!
I have returned from Ethiopia and am back in my hometown of CoeurdAlene, ID. Many THANKS to Beline and her family for their WONDERFUl hospitality! I am very excited, because THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND, Beline will be visting MY HOMETOWN here in CDA doing a presentation on the Mt. Entoto community that we encountered towards the end of our trip. Remember the email "Chaining up the Crazies"??? Beline has been doing a lot of work in the Seattle area to raise awareness about this community. For any of you in the CDA area, NOWis an opportunity for you to hear more about this community, to meet Beline before she heads back to Ethiopia, and to find out ways to help the folks at Mt. Entoto. Hunger and homelessness is not only present in Ethiopia, it's very much a reality here in our very own town. This weekend's event is not only about Ethiopia, it's about opening our eyes to the statistics here in CoeurdAlene.
I am hosting an Oxfam America Hunger Banquet this upcoming Saturday. Beline will be guest speaking!! Dinner is complimentary!! And YOU are INVITED!!! See details below (or attached flier) :)....
Hope to see you there! And to share with you a deeper glimpse into who I am through my passion for Ethiopia, my dear friend Beline and awareness of what's going on in our communities.
