Enat Alam

Enat Alam is one of the local orphanages in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Abel spent some time at one of the locations of Enat Alam. There are two different locations. On the second day we visited one of the sites and on the last day, we visited the site where Abel was.


These pictures are from the first location.

This little girl grabbed onto my legs and we just swayed and held onto each other. (I showed this picture in an earlier post).

The kids love having their pictures taken. We would take their pictures and then show them the camera so they could see what they looked like.

How precious is this little girl.


The kids all sang songs in Amharic. It was so sweet to hear.


That is Julie Salwasser in this picture. She's only the best case worker in the WORLD! She loves orphans in a BIG way! Did I mention how amazing I think All God's Children International is? That is the agency we used and I would use them over and over again! I can't recommend them more highly!



These are pictures from the second location (I believe it's an older location). This is the one our Abel was at. The guy on the far left.. his name is Tesfaye. He is the one who taught me how to say it correctly. I was saying "Tes-fI" - with a long i - and he said it is "Tes-fI (long i) - e (short e)"





The orphanage director is amazing! He remembered Tesfaye "Abel". The kids would all run to him when he came into the orphanage. He seems so loved and he seems so loving!
