The project has been open again since September 20. There is a morning circle again, where all children are allowed to play together in the big room and then go to their classes. So now we are also telling Bible stories to all the children again. We believe that this ministry of sowing seeds is so important to create a good foundation for further guidance from God and to build trust in Him as well as to listen to His voice later on.

Sugar has become so expensive in Ethiopia that we had to apply to the woreda (suburban office). So we got sugar at a quarter of the free market price. It's crazy how everything is getting more expensive. Of course, this also affects our employees and families.

The first class is almost full. We have 12 new children in the project. The first days are therefore characterized by a lot of loud shouting. Here we do not settle in as in Germany, but the children have to be here alone from the first day on. Fortunately, thanks to their years of experience, our teachers Ethiopia and Ruth are very good at lovingly welcoming these children and calming them down. In their second week it is already calmer.

    News from Ethiopia

    The exchange rate ETB - € is finally moving in the direction that the loss of value of the Birr no longer feels so dire. There is no further word of peace negotiations, at least not in Addis. In Addis, everything feels completely normal and peaceful again, which is wonderful.

    News from Ethiopia
     
    The government seems to have regained a firm grip on Tigray. If I understand the news correctly, (please do not put my exact words on a gold scale) the government has put a lot of effort into holding peace negotiations during the ceasefire in the last 6 months. Now these have not materialized and the government has entered Tigray in mid-August after an attack by the TPLF and has dealt a heavy blow to the TPLF. Nobody really expected that. In Addis, everything is normal and we have opened our project. However, the circumstances in which we are working here and living in Ethiopia are not normal. With all the potential that Ethiopia holds, it is so painful to see so much of it broken and lost to war.

    The project has been closed for 4 weeks now. The only ones working are our hardworking chickens laying eggs. When the project starts, we will be able to eat most of our own eggs and fresh vegetables from our garden. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the generous additional donations that have been given for our chicken project and the garden project!
