In 2009 K & K began a journey of compassion. The hope was to join Water 1st on a water tour that would end in the building of a well. Thanks to the wonderful generosity of friends and family in Maryland and Ohio we not only did that but we were able to support the building of a hospital in the town of Leku down in Sidama. We supported the hungry through projects and many, many orphans through donations that clothed, fed, housed them in a number of areas across Ethiopia. We helped to send 80 children to school and helped a number of small local charities that benefitted many in Addis Ababa. It was an awe inspiring trip. Seeing what can be done with so little. Right down to the old clothes and un-used medicines we collected from other Americans, nothing went to waste. It was exciting to be a part of.
Here are some before and after shots of the area where our funds built a well:
Before: *please not the disgusting, dirty water that this village drank and used*
After: Please not the clean water and the happier women!
If you give to charities that help in Ethiopia please, think of Water 1st. They are tremendous! And please, help us to bring medicine if you can! We need doctors, nurses, volunteers, eye glasses, supplies, medicines & financial donations to help make it all possible.
