In May 2011 I travelled to Ethiopia with Children of Ethiopia Education Fund (COEEF).
This is an organization that sponsors girls' education in Ethiopia and I was fortunate to spend 11 days with them visiting schools, homes of students in Addis Ababa, Yirga Alem, Hawassa, etc.
Here are a few of my favorite images. If you click on the first image, you can scroll through them like a slideshow without the distracting background of the blog:).
