A likely bunch

We drove out from Bahir Dar, across the Nile and up a hill overlooking the town. There was a group of young men there, many of them in high school and hoping to go on to college. (Ok, there is one little guy there who is not quite ready for high school....) The fellow in the white hat is our trip leader, Fikreselassie. He is a great guy, very knowledgeable about all this part of the country.
I donated some money for a project to buy some football equipment for them. When I signed my name onto the list, there were other names, from Spain, Germany, France, Italy and so on. When you listen to the tourists talking, you are likely to hear almost any language. But there were very few Americans.
