Profits in Action: Zeway, Ethiopia

Above is a photo of the children from the Orphan Home in Ethiopia holding toys for the first time. In the most recent update from the orphanage in Zeway, Ethiopia, the children express their views comparing their past miserable life to their current decent life:

"We used to:
- eat dry and inadequate bread no more than 2 times a day.
- wear filthy and ragged clothes; the only ones we could find.
- always go barefoot because we had no shoes.
- sleep on dirty floors, with no blankets or pillows.
- feel unsafe everyday."

"Now, to the contrary:
- we get a variety of food; 4 meals a day.
- we wear clean and tidy clothes.
- we have shoes.
- we sleep on beds with mattresses, blankets, and pillows.
- we feel safe and secure.
- we are getting academic classes.
- we are enjoying life!"

What a blessing!
