The Kid's Hope Education Centers provide one hot meal a day for the children enrolled in the program.

We got these great pictures of the children at Gindo Center enjoying their lunch in the new building!

Thank you Herschel!

Thanks to Herschel Company's donation, we were able to give the children at a couple of our Education Centers brand new backpacks for school - including the kids at Gindo Center.

They were really happy to have them!

Building Beds in Gindotown

We helped to make more beds out of a simple wooden frame and recycled torn tires for our families in the country.

These beds help them to get up off the ground - so they can sleep free of insects, geckos, and rodents.

And they are even quite comfortable!

Gindo town

The group then headed out of Addis, and into the countryside for three days to work in the rural community of Gindo - where Canadian Humanitarian built an Education Center this past year.

It was so great to enjoy the scenery along the road to Gindo

And to finally see the finished school!

Soccer Tournament

The Kid's Hope Education Centers in Alemgena and Guelele got together and we held a soccer tournament!

The kids really got into cheering for their teams.

And so did our volunteers who were refs for the games!

Celebrations!

We had a great day last Saturday, with two of our Kid's Hope Education centers.

Kirkos Center hosted a celebration for us - with dancing, poems, dramas, and treats.

Ken and Audrey gave their wonderful presentation on realizing your dreams, by telling everyone about riding their bikes across Canada last summer to raise funds for Canadian Humanitarian.

Alemgena and Guelele Centers also put on a celebration for us - with musical performances, and acrobatics. They were amazing!

New Location for the Alemgena Education Center!

Our Alemgena Center has moved to a new building! We are excited to see the wonderful, nice new rooms and space for the children to use everyday.

The building itself is larger, and brighter!

There is a computer room, and library. And the classrooms are much larger and brighter!

Medicals at Alemgena

Rachel — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:00:00 +0000

We traveled out to the Alemgena Education Center today and started giving medicals to the children and their guardians.

First, we get set up - exam rooms, and a place for our Pharmacy supplies.

We take their blood pressure, height and weight, and medical history, and then they meet with a doctor in one of the rooms set up as exam rooms for this visit.

A great big thanks to our diligent translators - this would be impossible without you!
