On our last day in Ethiopia, we got the opportunity to visit the weavers from Awassa. It was amazing to see how much work that goes into making a scarf or a wall hanging. Some of these scarves take days to make. So much work and time and they only get a small amount of money for them. They don't use fancy machines for any of it. It's all done by hand, string by string. It was very cool to get to see how it is all done. The best part is that these weavers were from Awassa which is the same area of Ethiopia that Durant is from!!! Like I've said before, in the world of adoption any information you can get about your child is priceless. Since I didn't get the opportunity to meet any of Durant's relatives, it was really great to get the chance to meet people that live where he was born.
It was the perfect last thing to do while in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
