There are so many things that I wanted to document about our trip to Ethiopia. This country was full of rich culture. The night of our court day, we celebrated at a traditional Ethiopian restaurant. Ethiopia is also known for coffee. The Ethiopian people host coffee ceremony for a way to spend time and show appreciation for friends, family and neighbors.

We visited a scarf factory where women who used to have to carry wood up a mountain to make money for their families, now make scarves to provide income. The scarves were beautiful. Each scarf had a name on it and the person that made the scarf got the money for his/her family.

We also visited a place called Embracing Hope Ethiopia.
It was a beautiful organization that helped give mothers a place to
work as well as an education and routine care for their children. I
could have stayed there all day watching the children. I wanted to
bring them all home with me. The ladies made baskets, necklaces and
they also sold coffee.
