Ethiopia News 26.05.2021

So, the new project proposal is submitted and already approved by one (of two) offices. The first office is responsible for budget, the second for our activities. We will see what else comes this week. Our next project is scheduled to start July 1, 2021 and end June 30, 2024. That's why we still have a little time to sign the contract.

A miracle, where God had his fingers in the pie, was that exactly the woman in the office for finance received our project proposal (to read through and sign off), who was also with us for evaluation. In other words, she already knew us and knew what we were doing, so she approved our project proposal except for 2-3 things in the design after 4 days. That was really great. Even before we left the country, we were allowed to experience favor and goodwill one more time. God is good and at work.
 
Enat is doing well again so far, she was a little weak in the last days but otherwise everything is ok again.  The project has reopened after a week of closure, as everyone is out of quarantine and even did another test. Eyerusalem, our cashier, got infected at Enat and was in quarantine until today. So everyone is sensitized again and are paying more attention to distance, masks and hand washing again. We are thankful for preservation that nobody had a bad course.
 
On the last day in Ethiopia we had a delicious meal with all the staff. That was a joy.

    News from Ethiopia

    The exchange rate ETB - € is finally moving in the direction that the loss of value of the Birr no longer feels so dire. There is no further word of peace negotiations, at least not in Addis. In Addis, everything feels completely normal and peaceful again, which is wonderful.

    News from Ethiopia
     
    The government seems to have regained a firm grip on Tigray. If I understand the news correctly, (please do not put my exact words on a gold scale) the government has put a lot of effort into holding peace negotiations during the ceasefire in the last 6 months. Now these have not materialized and the government has entered Tigray in mid-August after an attack by the TPLF and has dealt a heavy blow to the TPLF. Nobody really expected that. In Addis, everything is normal and we have opened our project. However, the circumstances in which we are working here and living in Ethiopia are not normal. With all the potential that Ethiopia holds, it is so painful to see so much of it broken and lost to war.

    The project has been closed for 4 weeks now. The only ones working are our hardworking chickens laying eggs. When the project starts, we will be able to eat most of our own eggs and fresh vegetables from our garden. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the generous additional donations that have been given for our chicken project and the garden project!
