Day Three in Ethiopia!

What a great day it was. Today we went to YTH Guellele and visited a group of youth that were older than the previous YTH group. The youth at this centre have lost either one or both of their parents and are at high risk for ending up on the streets. Despite the challenges these youth face they are some of the most energetic and determined people we have ever met. Their lives have been so damaged but they are adamant at creating a better future for themselves. The centre helps tutor the children, supply a hot lunch and provide additional support ranging from learning English to emotional support. We presented information about ourselves and Canada. The youth had many questions for us. The day ended with us singing songs and playing games that had lots of participation from the youth, the teachers and the other volunteers. Once again, their hospitality has amazed us and we are looking forward to tomorrow.
