 The last 15 years

As we said in the introduction we have been travelling and helping the people of Ethiopia for 15 years, we never thought that from our first trip to Ethiopia in 2003 we would be returning at least once a year for the next 15 years.   We have achieved some wonderful things one of the recent changes has been supplying electricity something we take for granted.
