Then came the travel.
We gathered fresh and wide-eyed at San Francisco Airport’s International Terminal. Twenty-four hours, three continents and two airplanes later, thirteen bleary-eyed, back-aching individuals ranging in age from 12 to 54 found their rooms in Addis Ababa. Although it was long and tedious, God was good to us – ALL our luggage (26 duffle bags of personal belongings and supplies for HOPE Enterprises) and ALL 13 of us arrived intact.
