The following was taken from a blog about Korah...
For those of you who are not familiar
with Korah, here are a few facts:
•Korah in Amharic means "cursed".
 |
| Thought this would be a good place to show you a precious picture.. right after telling you what Korah means! |
•75 years ago
the Ethiopian government moved everyone
with leprosy to this area of Addis Ababa.
•Approximately 100,000 people live in the slums
of Korah - the "outcasts" of society.
•The city dump is located in Korah.
•The people, both adults and children,
spend their days digging through the dump
searching for anything to eat or sell.
•God is alive and well in Korah thanks to
Pastor Sammy Liben and Project 61 ministry.

They have started an education sponsorship
program for the children of Korah.
Meet Makarem age 13...
This is the cutie I will be searching for next week.
She is headed to boarding school on
September 12th.
I am getting there just in time (I hope)
to send her off to school with a hug.
What kid doesn't need that?
- - - - -
What an absolute honor and a privilege to
use just a small amount of God's money
to send her off for a better life.
This year and those that follow...
she will go to school,
she can grow healthy and strong,
she can dream of a future...
and maybe just maybe...
reach those goals.
