EOR (Ethiopian Orphan Relief)

One of the inspiring facets of this journey is meeting other adoptive families and organizations who place great importance on continuing to give back to the children of Ethiopia. As a family we feel this is very important.  We became familiar with EOR last year and were immediately impressed with their mission and dedication. EOR was started by a few adoptive mothers who felt a need to help the orphans in Ethiopia, which is a continuous effort. Last year, their annual benefit Lights of Hope 2010, was very successful and we felt fortunate to be a part of such an inspiring event (our blog entry from that event).

At Lights of Hope 2010, the generous guests gave enough money for 100 girls at Children’s Heaven to be fed for 500 days. Here are the pictures of the beautiful and happy children. We hope that Lights of Hope 2011 will be even more successful. The need in Ethiopia only grows bigger...and so do our hearts.

Here is their blog if you are interested in reading about their current projects
