I’m including here some of the places on our itinerary and some
links if you’re interested in learning more about some of the things
we’ll be doing and sites we’ll be seeing. I’ll warn you, it’s not
‘easy’ to watch some of these clips. Thanks for taking time to 'journey' with us!
Saturday, 3/9: ARRIVE
Kaylee Ann and I will arrive a day early to HOPEFULLY visit the Thomas Center (boy’s orphanage) and people in Addis from our adoption trips. :)
Sunday 3/10 : Worship at the International Church; Meet up with team
Monday 3/11: Drive to Dale in Awassa, 5 hours south of Addis
Visit, play and get to know folks in Dale; Conduct VBS like games, songs, activities.
***This is the potential CarePoint I’m hoping we can consider partnering with. I will be meeting with the FOVC (see below) contact and any village leaders identified. They have an initial need/group of kids being sponsored and are partnering with Children’s Hope Chest to further their support.
Friends of Vulnerable Children (FOVC)

Tuesday 3/12 8AM-6PM: Back to Dale potential CarePoint
~more getting to know/see need and love on the folks!
~MAYBE side trip to visit our boy’s birth home
Wednesday 3/13 8AM-2PM: Return to Addis
2PM-5PM: Visit Hands for the Needy / Korah.
This is the ‘dump’ in Addis where people live, find food and raise their kids.
We aren’t partnering w these folks, but this is a good 5 min documentary about it.
Documentary on Korah
Thursday 3/14 8AM-10AM: Drive to Trees of Glory CarePoint
10AM-4PM: Visit Trees of Glory CarePoint.
This is an established care point. Neat to see how these CarePoints CHANGE lives!
Trees-of-Glory
Evening back in Addis: Dinner with Youth Development Program Participants
I’m really excited about this too as it echoes to my heart to care for youth transitioning out of foster care here in US. This is a transition home:

Pray for these kids and them to be open to the love of God for them!
Friday 3/15 : Tour of Fistula Hospital
I watched this Walk to Beautiful documentary a while back, not knowing I’d ever go to one of these hospitals. It's about 50 min long, but does an incredible job explaining the realities these women face. Walk to Beautiful
Afternoon: 2 hr drive to Ambo and visit Stand for Vulnerable Children Orphanage
We’ll love on these kids and pray for them! 25 orphans are sponsored here through Children’s Hope Chest. I’m anxious to see the difference ‘sponsorship’ makes in the life of an orphan.
Saturday 3/16: Visit Stand for Vulnerable Children Orphanage
And more VBS like activities:)
Evening return to Addis
Sunday 3/17: 8AM-12PM : Service at International Church w/youth from the Development Program
Evening airport and departure at 10pm!!
