For the duration of my stay in Ethiopia, I'll be staying at the Mercy Ministry Happy Children Home. They have two rooms upstairs, one for men and one for women; unfortunately for the home, the economy has put a big hole in their volunteer pool; fortunately for me, I have my own room. There is one other volunteer here: a 54-year-old woman from Australia who has been here since April 1 by herself. As she's pretty settled into the larger room (with three bunk beds) and its own bathroom, I figured I wouldn't disturb her.

Bathroom in volunteer quarters at Mercy Ministry Happy Children's Home. No running water, therefore sink, toilet, and shower don't actually work. :-) More on that to come.
Beza cooking the kids' lunch in the house kitchen. Notice the Quaker Oats on the counter! YAY! (Yes, oatmeal is exciting. BONUS: I had some raisins from my flight to add to it. :-)
