The Howletts 5, er, 6.... better late than never!

We are Dave (aka Dad), Lory (aka Mom), Allison, Abby (aka "The Bigs"), three year-old Amelia and six year-old Bereket (aka "The Littles"). We are figuring out how to be a family of SIX. May God always be glorified! TEAM TASFA is a group of twenty-eight of us who just returned from remote southern Ethiopia, where we were privileged to serve the orphans and widows there. It was the best two weeks of my life!

The Incredible News Keeps Coming!

So much joy and confirmation in one day! See email below from Lauren A., who is Ethiopian Orphan Relief's Partners and Projects Chair.

Desalegn,
I am so proud to inform you that parts 1 and 2 of phase one will be financed by EOR. We have your banking information and will be wiring the sum of $21,800 USD to your account. Time to start building Desalegn. We are so excited and proud to be a part of your dream.

What does this mean? When we travel to Shanto, we can help build an orphanage!

If our group moves fast, I have identified flights on Lufthansa for under $1300--a rate that is truly unheard-of. Of course, nothing is locked in until we reserve flights.

Do you want to come and change the world?!
