Ethiopian Car Wash

It is a small world! I mentioned a long time ago, that a doctor from my town had been a part of a team that had built the Noah's Ark at the Transition House where our girls had lived. What chance of that.

Well, last week, I got a call from this same doctor and he asked me if it was possible for our girls to make a guest appearance at his daughter's car wash. The story was that for spring break she and her mother had gone with a medical team to Ethiopia. They had gone to the village where Faith Village is being built by our agency - Imagine Adoption. They had worked in the clinic that is being set up there. Both of the parents of this 11 year old girl are doctors.

When Amy came back from Ethiopia she did a power point at her school for her class. This was then asked to be shown for the entire school. A group of students in the school then suggested that they come up with a way to help the children in Ethiopia, so they came up with the idea of a carwash.

And this is how our girls got involved. I explained to the girls that the carwash was going to raise money to buy school supplies to help equip the school in Faith Village. They said they wanted to go and see the children who were doing this work. They also decided they would rather wear their Ethiopian clothes than Canadian clothes.



It was an awesome chance for these young girls who were so excited to raise money for these Ethiopian children to actually get to meet some in person. And to top it off, Amy had had a child in her class model a traditional dress when she gave her power point, so when I asked her dad if he would like the girls to come in their traditional outfits, he thought it would be fantastic.





The girls had a great time and so did the young fundraisers!
