- All of the rural families raise goats – they are greatly valued in this culture
- the well parts are made at the Sellam Vocational School in Awassa
- This family’s life was dramatically changed by their well. Not only do they have much less sickness now, they have also been able to use well run-off to create mud from which they make bricks. They now have a home made from these bricks and are able to sell them to others.

Love, Dad
Jen – can you bring one of those trees home in your backpack for our back yard?
Is everyone smiling because the goat tasted so good? Jen – did you partake?
