Ethiopia the Stick Women of Mt. Entoto


These Ethiopian women are so very poor.  They climb Mount Entoto in hopes of making a few cents every day.  The government allows them to break off branches from the trees that grow on the Mountain and sell them down in town. 

 They carry them on their backs, day after day.  Some have no shoes to wear, nor the money to buy them.  You can tell a *stick woman* as they become permanently hunched.  How I cried to God to bring help to them.  I can't imagine their lives or their daily pain and suffering.

Oh how they touched my heart.
