Hoping to go to college....

It was a steep and rocky ascent to a church high on the mountain. The young fellow helping Arleta is Getahun Nibret, a high schooler who lives here, rather isolated even from Bahir Dar. But he has great hopes of going on to college. There is a university in Bahir Dar and he hopes to attend there. But first he has to pass the exams. All our best wishes are with him. He has an email address at Yahoo, and when he gets to Bahir Dar, is able to get on line. We will email him and wish him all the best.
A very beautiful little girl, probably 10 or 11 years old, accompanied me down the mountain. I sure wish I had gotten a picture of her. She, too, is going to school here. I left my pen with her. A lot of the kids we met were asking for pens.
