Life on the field 🐒
With great joy and surprise, we received more donations, and we wasted no time! Today, we could donate school supplies to the 76 students of Godo Elem. School, where many of our friends and "field assistants" study. A perfect way to end an unforgettable year in Ethiopia❤️

We finally delivered the first part of the materials for the schools of Debre Libanos purchased thanks to the donations of many of you 📚It was a day filled with joy and strong emotions. Your generosity and trust mean a lot to us! For more info and pics, see our Ig/Fb pages
We are back on the field🐒 already facing the many challenges of field life! But as geladas do… we also quickly adapt!
