Ethiopia 2008 Slideshow

In November of 2008, Rick and I went to Ethiopia with the Cunningham Foundation, to teach beadmaking at Project Mercy. In the three weeks we spent there, we formed close bonds with many of the people at Project Mercy, including the wonderful beadmakers who are working so hard to perfect their art so that they can someday (soon!) support themselves and other programs within the compound. We returned home more excited than ever about helping these wonderful people to help themselves. The HOPE Bracelet Project means more to us than ever. You can help by joining the HOPE Beadmaker Challenge, or by making monetary donations to the Cunningham Foundation or Project Mercy. Enjoy the photos!
