We spent some time at the Education Center in Kality, a sub-city on the outskirts of Addis.
Not many of the side streets are paved, and the rainy season can really do a number on them. It's a pretty bumpy ride!
Audrey, with some of the children we met at Kality
We had a brand new pair of shoes for every child in the Kality Education Center
As you can see from this old pair of shoes one child was wearing - they really needed them!
This girl was washing her feet in preparation of putting on her new shoes.
We also had backpacks to give to every child - they waited very patiently for their names to be called to come up and receive one! Each backpack also had a soccer jersey in it, donated by people in St George Utah.
And back into traffic to make it home at the end of the day. This is pretty normal traffic flow here!
So glad our generous friends and family were able to provide the funds for the shoes. We so enjoyed shopping for them and are glad that the group from Canadian Humaitarian could deliver them for us. Thank you so much!
