Gadu Kistana, Ethiopia
My newest Sponsor child! Askalu of Ethiopia.
Her name is Askalu from the Gadu Kistana community of Ethiopia. She is a beautiful girl that I am sponsoring through Save the Children. Hopefully, when I go to Egypt in February 2009, I will be able to take a side trip to Ethiopia and see her and her family.

Hi Sara!
I really applaud you for sponsering a child from one of the countries with gross human rights violations which is currently starving its people.

I stumbled upon your blog and I was happy when I saw "I blog for Human Rights" statement on your blog. God bless you for that!
I am originally from Ethiopia, a land of no human rights especially for Oromos, Anuaks and Gambelas. I wanted to bring to your attention some of the human rights violations and crimes against humanity as reported by Human Rights Watch.

I hope you will help to free these oppressed people by continuing your courageous and noble activism.

Thank you Oromantic. HRW.org is my homepage so I remember the Ethiopia report there quite vividly.
I hope I can make your home country a safe place for your people to live again. I have only heard of the Anuaks by reference name, I'll do some more research on that. Thanks!
