Today we were able to participate in a 5k event called Walk for Water Ethiopia. The event was an effort to support drilling wells for clean water in our town's sister city of Gondar, Ethiopia. We walked about the same distance that the people of Gondar walk each day to find water and haul it back to their homes. We are humbled by the new perspective we've been given, and so thankful for the ability to help in some small way.
We were also able to learn more about water through different experiments, taste injera (an Ethiopian flatbread) for the first time, listen to Ethiopian music, meet new friends, and learn more about Ethiopia. We had a great morning learning more about the country we will soon call home.
