Our friends, the Alexanders, they are the ones that put adoption from Ethiopia on our life road map, or God, whichever one. Anywhoo. Their 2nd child that they adopted from Ethiopia is named Eyasu. He is from a village called Dube Bute. Yep - that's the picture over there on my side bar. Go ahead a click it, if you want to see something amazing. Anyway.... The Alexanders have been given the incredible privilege of helping this village where Eyasu's family members live. The Alexanders have partnered with A Glimmer of Hope to build wells in this village, build a health care center, build new school rooms for the children, and build a vet clinic for the animals. (I think that's the list of everything).
Well. Here's a video that tells it better than me. And... I dare you not to cry.

And they are trying to raise $284,000 to make all this happen. They have raised a lot of this money already. I love it when God challenges us to PRAY BIG and THINK BIG. The Alexanders have done this and WOW! LOOK WHAT GOD DOES!!!!!
