The book is the about the story of Hargewoin Teferra " a middle-class Ethiopian widow whose home became a refuge for hundreds of AIDS orphans, and about a few remarkable children who moved through her life."
Sadly, Ms. Teferra has passed away. Ethiopia has lost a warrior for children's rights.

I'm still crying. I wanted to meet her in my travels just to tell her "thank you". She knows it now...
ReplyDeleteShe was an incredible woman. It's hard to even imagine all of the children and families that she has helped because there are so many. This book about her was the first that I picked up once we decided to adopt from Ethiopia and it is profound.

Robbin,
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to ask you...how close are you now to being matched with your child? I see that you were put on the waiting list in July of last year. So, you should be coming up on your referral pretty soon right? How exciting!
