Part 2: “She was too sick to have a job – where would she find one anyway? She was forced to leave two of her children at an orphanage because they were sick as well, and she had no way to care for them. But today, Birknesh, this beautiful mother, sits across from us and with a strong voice that belies her small frame, she tells her story. She is healthy because of the life saving drugs she receives from the clinic. Four of her six children sit beside her. The other two, no longer in an orphanage, are working at her clothing shop, just as my oldest daughter works at our clothing shop, many miles away, in much different circumstances, but in this, we are the same. Speaking through Aschalow Adebe, the smart and passionate local leader who loves his people and sits with Berknesh’s youngest child snuggled close on his lap, @jenhatmaker tells this sweet, hard working mom what a really good job she is doing with her family and how proud we are of her work. Birknesh looks down at her hands again, trying to suppress a smile, eyes glowing with the knowledge that what we are saying is true. She is doing a really good job. She wants to show us: “Come outside, you should see my cow.” This cow provides milk for her family, sometimes more than they need; she takes the extra and trades it for important things like rice and grain. “I also have a chicken and a goat; come see.” “And in the back is my garden.” Lush and overflowing with coffee plants, entesh (something like a banana), avocado, peppers and more. “And please stop by my shop and meet my oldest daughters.” “See what I have been able to do,” she says without words, “How our lives have changed.” Then Birknesh, looks down at her hands again and says “thank you, thank you, thank you. If it wasn’t for you I would not be alive. My children would be orphans.” Aschelow explains to us again, like he did yesterday when we arrived and today as we drove through this amazing, beautiful, complicated country, “See what I am saying? Do you understand what I am telling you? We love our children, we don’t want to give them up. We just don’t have the economic capacity to keep them, and we don’t want to see them die.”
