  1. In central Ethiopia visited Glimmer water & school projects with a new local partner. i was extremely inspired by the community involvement
  2. 3rd day visiting compelling need for schools where class rooms are makeshift shelters & over crowded...where kids walk 4 hrs/day to go
  3. Camping with communities in very remote nth Ethiopia to visit Glimmer projects and assess 7 villages needs for integrated development work
  4. Spent today seeing projects in Dube Bute, southern Ethiopia. The kids in the new class rooms sang to us...it was very inspiring and humbling
  5. Amazing day, spent almost 12hrs in the field looking schools, medical facilities and water projects in a remote area of northern Ethiopia.
  6. In Ethiopia to take donors into the field to see projects and need. Looking forward to connecting with the people - their joy inspires me!
  7. This will make you cry but it is just sooooo inspiring. Girl's death inspires thousands to donate cbsnews.com/video/watch/?i… via @cnet
  8. We celebrated with the people...we danced and sung with them (I danced like a white guy)...hard to describe the depth of my gratitude

  13. Just landed in northern Ethiopia with 20 donors and @estherhavens..next is cars, then boats, then horse back to a needy village called Robit
  14. Heading to a remote village that leaves planes, trains & automobiles short... to get there we are going bus, plane, car, boats & horse back
  15. 7500 peoples lives have been transformed
  16. At first desperate village I ever saw...they had been centuries without clean water..a deep bore hole , 600 ft, 8kms pipeline & $350k later
  17. Arrived in Ethiopia tonight after major delays..going into the field to inaugurate the 2 villages from our event last year and see a new one
  18. Been a looong trip...Looking forward to heading home tomorrow :-))
  19. At Gondar airport boarding an old prop driven Focker 50...trusting that that there is still a lot of work for me to do & God knows that :-))
