"Christian" World Adoption has been among the worst of the worst in Ethiopia. I am very happy they are finally closing.

learning to read
Not the kids, me!
My advice if you want to learn to read in Amharic is to first have a foundation of oral language. T and I worked with our tutors for about six months before attempting literacy. Once we had a bunch of words whose meanings we knew, we made flashcards with those words until we could read them. Then I bought a few bilingual children's books. I've been practicing the easiest of them, Trouble (Amharic title: Teklei) for a couple of weeks.
Here I am, doing my best to read in Amharic. My head is bobbing up and down because I'm focusing so hard.
