Ethiopia
By now, kids, Mrs. Girard and I are on our way to meet and bring home our new son, Debabu, and our daughter, Zufan. We’re very excited, and, as I’d indicated in class last week, I wanted to leave you some resources on Ethiopia.
We’ll be in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, for most of our stay, but we’ll travel to meet our chidlren’s birth family in Aleta Wendo, south of the capital in the nation’s Sidamo province near Lake Abaya. (After you click the preceding map links, select the “Satellite” option in the upper-right corner for a better view of the cities.)
Follow the links below for more information on our children’s homeland:

Again, I trust you’ll follow the plans I’ve left for you and that you’ll be cooperative, positive, courteous, and productive with your substitute. I look forward to seeing you in a couple weeks.
