Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
WHY ETHIOPIA?
~ One in ten children die before their first birthday
~ One in six children die before their fifth birthday
~ 44% of the population is under 15 years old
~ 60% of children in Ethiopia are stunted because of
malnutrition
~ The median age in Ethiopia is 17.8 years old
~ 1.5 million people are infected with AIDS (6th highest
in the world)
~ There are roughly 4.6 million orphans in Ethiopia
~ Per capita, Ethiopia receives less aid than any country
in Africa
~ Half of the children in Ethiopia will never attend
school.
~ 88% will never attend secondary school
~ Coffee prices (Ethiopia's only major export) declined 40-60%
from 1998-2002
~ Ethiopia's doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000
~ Severe drought struck country from 2000-2002
(first year no crops, second year no seeds, third year
no animals)

I posted this same video a while back. I love this song. I just found your blog from the IEKC forum. Gretchen posted your blog address. We live about an hour north of you. We have our court date tomorrow for our 9 year old and also have a 3 year old adopted from ET as well.
