Our Trip to Ethiopia, Day 9

 Friday, March 17, 2023

Today, we drove across town to the Korah community again. First, we visited Sabahar and bought some gorgeous, soft Ethiopian textiles. 









Next, we headed back to the trash dump area, where we met Tesfaye. Shana, Darci, and Malia planned to purchase a month's supply of food for 6 different families through their give-back businesses, Araya and Prayer Buddies. Tesfaye led us through the market to the little shop where we purchased food items, cooking oil, and soap.

















This is teff, Ethiopia's most popular grain:

We went back to Ordinary Hero, where Fray had a wedding gift for Shana and Daniel and a graduation gift for Darci. Then Gecho took us to Fili Coffee for lunch. Malia and I ordered fetira to share...first time I've had it since we were in Gambella ten years ago. Yum!




After lunch, we went back to the guest house, and Tarikua and Hiwet came back to spend time with us. Hiwet braided Malia's hair.









For dinner, we took the girls to the rooftop restaurant at the Monarch hotel. I'm pretty sure they had never had a meal like that before, and Tarikua pronounced it "a perfect night."


We made plans to meet the girls for church on Sunday, and then walked back to the guest house.
