Last thoughts from Sian

15 June, 2019 | 0 COMMENTS

Here are some last thoughts from Sian on leaving Ethiopia. Even though I don't often update this blog, I thought it might be a good last post here of our time in Ethiopia.Ethiopia, I won't miss queueing at 5 or more different windows every time I want to process any paperwork. I won't miss feeling like I am in a driver awareness video every time I get behind the wheel, dodging donkeys, fruit sellers with wheel barrows full, and of course pedestrians. I won't miss traffic that mak...

As expected, they were filled with plenty of goodbyes and farewells, with quite a number of people leaving and not returning. It was hard to say goodbye to Brad Adams and his family, who has been the director of the school for a few years. The graduation and subsequent banquet were enjoyable times, the banquet was held in the Radisson Blu ...

Internet outage...

3 June, 2017 | 0 COMMENTS

OK, so apologies to those of you who receive my blog updates by email and were confused by the recent strange posts. I was working a little on the website, and testing some changes that I made. Unfortunately, before I could remove the test blogs, the internet went down. No big deal, this is a regular occurrence, usually that just means waiting a few hours or going home to try again there. However, this time, the internet did not come back, and was also off at home. It turns out that the internet...
