The Best Things In Life Aren't Things

Thursday, June 23, 2011

Look at this little cutie. It's crazy to think that, last year at this time she was part of the following statistic...

WHAT DOES 143 MILLION ORPHANS LOOK LIKE?

All the orphans could stand side by side around the 10,913 mile parameter of the United States 4 times.

If all 143 million orphans stood single file, they could wrap around the Earth 2 times.

What a fun time for you....remembering where you were one year ago and where you are now. She just looks so beautiful and joyful and how much she has grown! I love that you took a picture of her in the same chair to show her growth! She is a little doll and obviously a blessing to your family!

Why Ethiopia?

There are over six million orphans in Ethiopia
One out of every 20 children born alive die in their first month of life
One out of ten children born die before their first birthday
Ethiopia’s doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000.
One out of six children die before their fifth birthday
The median age in Ethiopia is 18
Per capita, Ethiopia receives less aid than any country in Africa
Coffee prices (Ethiopia’s only major export) fell 40-60% from 1998-2002 - strange since coffee consumption has grown in the US.
In 1993, after 30 long years of war, Eritrea broke from Ethiopia and became an independent nation leaving Ethiopia landlocked without any major seafaring ports.
If only 7 percent of the 2 billion Christians in the world would care for a single orphan in distress, there would effectively be no more orphans”.
