Ode to Merri Fam




We just found out our favorite cafe will be closed for the next 6 months. It was to be our first stop in Addis. This pix is of Teddy, from what I understand, an anonymous adoptive parent has paid for him to attend college! He was working at Merri Fam, and was paid $15 U.S. a month, room and board. He worked 15 hour days, and ad one day off a month. He ALWAYS had a smile on his face, it was unbelievable! Lance and Teddy even tried to get the Seahawk playoff game at 1AM one morning, to no avail. This is where Sami ordered his first "double Macchiato". He barely talked for 10 days, but he got that out OK. A child after my own heart. :))
