I am leaving tomorrow to Ethiopia to honor the Muslim and Christian Builder; eight mothers and seven men on International Peace Day September 21st who worked to create a Day Care Center in their village of Amacho Wato Ethiopia. They have built a place that will keep their children safe and hunger free while they work, allow young girls who care for babies to now go to school and a place in the evening for mothers to learn sustainable work skills........this whole year i accepted donations from sons in honor of their mothers...8 women i met in a restaurant....1 prize fighter just because he loved the project......friends who have little and gave so much, my ex-sister in law who made these incredible quilts with ethiopian design... board member and designer Pryor assisted by architect Frehiwot who worked so hard to create a Day Care Center that honored ethiopian design ...and to a Foundation who saw what could be accomplished...though we have a roof to raise money for and cribs to buy to everyone in honor of the mothers and children of Amacho Wato I say thank you!
