This morning, the country director of Ethiopia contacted me. He told me that he had sad news from Zeway. One of our social workers in the Child Development Project, Tigist passed away the night before. From what I understand she was in some type of a car accident, taken to the hospital and passed away sometime later. The staff will be traveling to southern Ethiopia for her funeral over the next few days. I wish with all my heart that I could be there during this time. Please pray for my coworkers, for the 125 children under Tigist, and the Zeway community as a whole.
