Maija-Sitota

Dear David:

Today we had our third visit with Maija-Sitota…again, she is as beautiful and sweet as ever. She is still getting used to our white faces. The kids in that foster home hardly ever see white people. They are very protected, which is okay. Anyway, today she stayed awake little longer. She is well fed little girl, my arm was getting shaky holding her for so long. Today we also met Haregewein the first time. We were really glad to meet her…I really like her.

Haregewein said Sitota was very fortunate as she has been very well looked after from her beginning. Haregewein asked her uncle if we could sometime visit them and talk to them and they said it would be okay. She said it’s very difficult to get there (Kembata Region). We would have to make it an overnight trip and it might be very hard especially if we had to take Sitota.
