Caring for Orphans in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a beautiful country with a rich history. It's the land of the Queen of
Sheba. It is also a place filled with need. Nearly half of Ethiopia's 78 million
people live in absolute poverty. The life expectancy is only 50 years and half of
the people are illiterate.
HIV/AIDS is wreaking havoc on this nation. In 2001, UNAID said there were 1
million AIDS orphans. Something must be done. Children's HopeChest has
seen lives transformed in Russia and Swaziland when American Christians
enter holistic, long-term, and redemptive relationships with orphaned and
abandoned children. In the next 12 months, we will be focusing on expanding
this effort into Ethiopia.
On Thursday, May 15th, at 9AM MDT, Tom and I will be hosting a conference
call for dozens of people across the country who are mobilized to join us in
caring for the orphaned children of Ethiopia.
If you are interested, please reply to this post or email me, and call us at (712)
432-1620. The participant access code is 1083603#. We hope to hear from
you then.
