The best part of being in Ethiopia was that we got to experience this amazing culture with our daughter, as a family. We have had so many wonderful adventures with our daughter already! The time spent in Ethiopia over 8 weeks has been simply unforgettable, to watch her grow physically, emotionally and mentally. We have been so lucky to be able to experience this incredible country WITH our daughter. We can look back with fun memories and appreciation of those experiences. Here are some of the highlights of our trip in Ethiopia with our daughter, Mawerdi!

“If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.” ~ Vincent van Gogh
