Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC)

In the summer of 2002, I first journeyed to Ethiopia. It was a defining moment that propelled me to look at the world and my purpose in a deeper manner. I discovered a life of service in Ethiopia and I want to share that—to inspire others as I was inspired by the children of Ethiopia. Their strength of spirit is palpable and life affirming. Thus, my aim is to chronicle my endeavor to affect change in the lives of vulnerable children in Ethiopia and the inner growth that has brought to my life.

Reflection of the Day: Empathy

EMPATHY
"The discoveries of how we can grow and the insights we need to have really come from the inside out. To have genuine empathy, not as a make-nice tool but as an understanding, is essential to the next step." (Patricia Sun)
