Team Merkato arrived in Ethiopia yesterday, and they spent their first day today with the kids. In the morning they spent time work the staff that works with the kids, then they visited the school that lots of the sponsored kids go to. Next they visited the homes of several children in the program and met their families, including two kids that we sponsor! They spent the afternoon with the younger half of the sponsored kids at the church, sharing Bible stories, playing games, and doing crafts. It was a great day!

| Visiting one of the schools that many of the kids at Merkato go to. It gives new meaning to our perception of over-crowding and student/teacher ratios. |
