The School

 The Tesfa folks are in Ethiopia.

 They have been promised the above land for our school.

 It is in Meazi and Melese's village.

It is almost impossible to describe what it feels like to receive pictures like these in your morning e-mail, among the Baby Center newsletter, and an ad for a Lucky Brand sale.

With the average fertility rate of six kids per family, many of us have extended family 9,000 miles away.The idea that M&m's brothers and sisters, and cousins and friends, may have an opportunity to go to this school, is almost too much for me to comprehend.

Forgive me for asking before, now, and over and over in the future. For me this has become a sort of family emergency.
