I’m back in New York after 10 days in Ethiopia with Bill Doty, a major benefactor and champion of the work of CNEWA. Here are the highlights of our trip:
- 1,304 miles driven from the capital city of Addis Ababa to the city of Adigrat in the north and back again.
- 10 Catholic schools, orphanages, seminaries and social service centers that we visited along the way.
- 2,300 children and parents helping us lay the cornerstone for new 11th and 12th-grade classrooms we’re building for Blessed Gebre Michael School in the city of Mekele.
- 1,800 students celebrating new classrooms we recently completed for Kidane Mehret School in the city of Dessie.
- 10,000 pieces of candy that Bill and I bought and gave to all the children we met in Ethiopia
And one thing I heard over and over again wherever I went: “God bless the generous supporters of CNEWA.” That means you!
