Our excitement continues....

Now that we’ve finished celebrating Christmas and New Years we can concentrate on preparations for our trip to Ethiopia. We were pretty surprised with the amount of immunizations needed and the time we needed to allot in getting them. Are arms feel like pin cushions and we’re not even done yet! Yellow Fever, Typhoid, Hepatitis A & B, Meningitis, Rabies, Polio, Diphtheria/Tetanus/Whooping Cough, H1N1……and we’re still considering Malaria! And, these were simply recommended….not required. However, we’d rather be safe than sorry. We purchased 25 great water filters that attach to five gallon plastic buckets so the people can go collect their water from the rivers, have the water go through the filters, and receive perfectly clean, healthy water! Then, we got lots and lots of vegetable seeds from Feed The Hungry. We’ve requested drip system/irrigations supplies from a couple of companies but have not had any replies. Are excitement and interest continues to grow.
