Simple living in Ethiopia.

Coming to Addis Ababa was like stepping into the heart of Africa.

People call it untouched...and it really is!

We spent our time in Debre Zeit, 1 hour from Addis. We've been working in an christian orphanage called Joshua Academy. It has 50 kids that had their parents die in HIV/aids....heartbreakers for real man! They live in houses/"families" of 10 kids each and a housemother. Their school is next door, Kindergarden through grade 7.

Feeling the vibrations of the African Bush, we've been milking our own cows, been run over by donkeys, fighting the mosquitos and mingling with the locals.

During our time our days would be filled with teaching all the classes english daily, having devotions (bible/drama/songs/prayers/games), helping out, playing with the kids, visiting the houses, socializing and just being around.

Simple living, that's how we like it!!

The kids are truly beautiful!









The kids are in need of love, and love is all they need! Making each one of them feel special and unique takes their everyday life to another level. They are longing for physical touch and affirmation! Meeting their needs is like seing 50 stars come alive*

Welcome to Africa*

We arrived in busy Jo'burg, Gangsters's Paradise, on a sunny morning the 2nd of August. The journey is on. Uncle Simon taxidriver picked us up at the airport making us feel like home! We felt it in our fingers...In Africa it is in the air!

Jo'burg is the place where no one goes out making friends or trusting anyone...safety is not a guarantie or a word on people's lips. But those who knows the Lord fear nothing...Vagabonds & Urbanus. Friends for future...

Getting material for our book, being in the field, getting close to people's lives, being one with our environments, sharing some love & joy...yes that's our every day life. We go where our feets are leading us and do what our hearts say...It's amazing what a difference a day make!

On the road for 18 hours in the sleep liner, we got safe & sound to Cape town, the city with no breaks. Fits us perfectly! It's Africa with a shot of Europe...

With our new friend Zack (from Costa Rica, meet you there man!), we were invited to Simba's house to play the jamboo...the african rythm for real! Getting to know the culture through the locals...nothing like it!

We've been staying at an Inn in Long Street...we're getting to know what businesses are all about here. After being robbed for a 1000 bucks, we are now also playing with the big boys...In the capital of crime we're hanging loose with the homeless kids & friends like Edward and Walfred here. You don't need cash to have fun*

Our local DJ Sango & our homeboy Jesus (in the background) makes the dancefloors holy.
