Thanks for the memories. My husband worked at a hospital in Ethiopia, in Addis Abbaba.
This is the place, and some information about how Australian quilters and knitters are helping out: http://www.hamlinfistula.org.au/howtohelp.html |

I'm asking my hubby to make the electrical in the house we are building safe for my modern machines.

Wonderful pics! It's amazing how others live without all the fancy things we have in America, but are so happy and content! Thank you for sharing!

Fabulous pictures. What a wonderful opportunity you had.
