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.

Ethiopian Students Association International (ESAi) 8th Annual Summit

On Saturday, March 29th, I was honored to facilitate workshops on ALIF's work with orphans and children of sex workers in Ethiopia at the 2008 ESAi summit hosted by the ESA of George Mason University and ESAi. The theme of the three-day summit was "Looking Back-Leaping Foward." Additionally, the ESAi is the sponsor of one of ALIF beautiful children sponsored in Ethiopia. On behalf of our sponsored children and ALIF, I thank ESAi for their continued support!

In solidarity,
