New Life Ministries, a street people rehabilitation program in Addis Ababa, receives funds periodically. This organization provides housing for homeless men and women and trains them in marketable skills that allow them to earn an income and become productive members of their communities.
We spent some time in Addis Ababa in 1999 and saw firsthand the deteriorating effects of unemployment and hunger on families and on the larger social structure. Buzz visited the rehabilitation project personally and learned that the program yields good results. People who would have spent their days involved in illegal or immoral behaviors or the default occupation of begging are able to restart their lives and take pride in their work.
About us . . .
- Buzz and Patty
- We're ordinary people who have made travel a priority and, in the process, have collected friends from all over the globe. (As it turns out, they're just like us.) When we come home to Minnesota, we appreciate it anew. Even in our home state there are places to go, things to do and people to meet. So here we go!
