Day 7 & 8

Day 7

After a rough night with a migraine and not feeling so hot, I felt it would be better if I stayed home and rest instead of passing out at Korah. After a long nap, I emailed updates, played soccer with Hayden, went for ice cream with the street boys, and feeling much better had a dinner with the team.

Day 8

First Day at Korah for me, maybe because I had been prepared by others but I was almost ready for the devastation, the houses that we would call a bedroom. It it sad to see the children so needy for food they are pushing each other down to get into the room. The good news is because we are there with goats ($35USD) 200 people did not have to go to the dump for food this day. The smiles again just melt my heart. So sweet and so full of joy it makes you smile. This was my buddy for the day -- honestly I did not tell her to smile different in any of the pictures she is just my little doppelgangers.

Dinner was at a traditional Ethiopian restaurant. There were dancers and wonderful music. This was my first Ethiopian dinner. I really enjoyed it. I knew I was flying my freak flag when I got up on stage for a little bit and danced.
