Wow! It's a dream come true!
MANY, MANY of you contributed to our BoyWithoutArms campaign in January. Then volunteers went in February, and the building for his store/home was gotten significantly underway.
Since then, our Ethiopian director Zerihun (in the middle below) made sure the building was finished, then he helped Aschelew form a relationship with a wholesaler, then he trained Aschelew and his brother in how to operate the store.....
AND NOW THEY'RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!!!
I can't help but tear up when I look at this picture. And here's great news on top of it all: Aschelew is due to get two prosthetic arms in the next month or so.
Amazing. Totally amazing.
