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.

Thanks Giving with an HIV Infected Mother

By: Nasir Al-Amin

Location: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

I spent "Thanks Giving" with an impoverished, bedridden mother infected with HIV. She taught me what I need to be thankful for and what I should be giving of myself. Make a difference with your life.

"To Serve" and "To Give" are two verbs that should define your life.--Rick Warren
