He is our Kolfe son. Isn't he handsome? We cannot adopt him since he is 19 years old. Yet, he is part of the family. Currently, he is living at Kolfe orphanage in Ethiopia. There are approximately 160 boys (+/-) living there. Tamirat is going to school to become a teacher. He graduates in a few months and will move out of the orphanage to live on his own and begin a new chapter in his life.
He is full of great and insightful thoughts such as this:
BLAMING
'' When you plant lettuce ,if it does not grow well,you don't blame the lettuce.You looke for reason it is not doing well.It may need fertilizer,or more water,or less sun.You never blame the lettuce.''
Yet if we have problems with our friends or our family,we blame the other person.But if we know how to care of them,they will grow well ,like the lettuce.Blaming has no positve effect at all,nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument."
Pretty neat, eh? Thanks Kristy for taking pictures for me!!
