This title may sound like the beginning of a joke, but it's actually the story of my ten day journey to Ethiopia this past January. Two months ago, I accompanied a group of journalists and media professionals hailing from Italy, the US and France to visit A Chance In Life's programs in Ethiopia. How did such an international group come together? Well, the story begins with a phone call ...
"I would like to join you on a trip to Ethiopia," Federico Rampini announced to me over the phone. As I love to show our Towns to people, and I knew Mr. Rampini to be one of Italy's most prolific and respected journalists, I was thrilled. Over the course of the conversation, I was informed that there were, in fact, nine other people who wished to accompany us. Despite the 3,000 miles to cover in Ethiopia through flights and bumpy drives on off-road paths, A Chance In Life accepted the challenge. On January 11, our group of ten visitors from Italy, France, and the US reached Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.
