One dollar is a lot in Ethiopia. So are training, technical assistance, management advice and vocational skills. Nothing is small. Not even a single drop of rainwater. In fact, it is so precious that each drop is carefully captured and collected from every corrugated tin roof, whether off hotel or health post, stored in cisterns, and kept under lock and key.

Nothing is small. They currently are feeding 582 students, including my new friend, Alima, whom I told you about in an earlier letter , but there are thousands more we must help them reach. Our ability to adapt to nature does not extend to outwitting it. Famine strikes where we are often least prepared and least able to mitigate it. First, we must continue to fund long-term development through indigenous Ethiopian organizations that have the support of the community and are led by men and women with extraordinary leadership skills.
