2nd Home Visit

Today we met with Belinda, our social worker again for our second home visit. We went over our Dossier, which is our formal application to Ethiopia. Wow, is it long! We have so many things to fill out and most everything needs a notary. It's a long process but Belinda says she will help us along the way. We also gave her personal information about ourselves today as well. We found out there is an Ethiopian coffee being sold here called, Kaffa Bunna. We are going to go try it at DeBoer Bakery tomorrow (one of the few places selling it). 100% of the proceeds of this coffee goes towards one of the three orphanages in Addis Ababa (which could be the one we go through). It supports mothers, children and staff at this orphanage. You can also buy it online at www.blueniletraders.org. We'll let you know how it tastes. Coffee is said to have originated in Ethiopia!

I am a notary so if you need me to notarize anything...you can stop at church during office hours or let me know and I'll bring my seal home and you can stop by my house in the evening.
