WOMEN WHO LIVE BY EXAMPLE: This young woman lived next door. She was an inspiration to many, including me. She was educated, had a job in statistical agricultural analysis, was a Godly person, and lived alone. Even though she had all this going for her, she still lived under the poverty line. And even in doing so, she had time to cook meals for me, offer me coffee - the drink of choice (offered many times throughout the day), and offer to show me how to do chores when no modern conveniences are available. Let's put it in perspective: women in this part of the world aren't always educated because they have to drop out of school early on to help their families with chores and raising their sibilings. Oftentimes, these young girls have to do heavy manual labor, like caring gallons of water in jerry cans from sources of clean water, or carry double/triple their weight in wood planks on their backs. These women are amazing, strong, smart, and caring. #strongwomen #inspiring #ethiopia #peaceworkers
