Ethiopia is a land of beauty and diversity. Home to 80 unique ethnic groups and almost as many languages, it is a place of vibrant contrasts and many festivals and celebrations where we laugh, sing, and dance. In Ethiopia there are many different ways to be, but most of all we are full of hope, of joy, and of life.
