Fun in Maui 2013

We were so blessed to be able to have the opportunity to go to Maui this year with Grandma Randa and Greg, and Their family! We had so much fun and are so thankful to the Hansens for brining us, and for The Lord for providing! We want to go back!

Family time in Maui!

If we were blessed to go to a beautiful place like this, we can only imagine the more glorious blessing of heaven!!!

Why Ethiopia?

A Unicef report states that in Ethiopia there are at this moment 4.5 million orphans on a population of some 90 million. The 4.5 million means that 5 percent of the total population is an orphan. Orphans are in Ethiopia defined as children under 18 whose both parents died. They died of AIDS, untreated illnesses, hunger, draught and war. There are about 2.5 million children with disabilities. Ethiopia counts one of the largest populations of orphans in the world: 13 per cent of children throughout the country are missing one or both parents. This represents an estimated 4.6 million children – 800,000 of whom were orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
