Last week Training At Lein'a home

Last Wednesday, we had seven new people to train. We were busy calling each other. The first person to meet me, a friend who knows my office, she was by the office on time. I told her to drive a little bit up then we meet by the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. She parked her car, i saw her from far and asked;\" Is a red Toyota van parked in front of you?\"

\" No, there's red van behind me in front of me.\"

\"Ok, that means, you're at the next Commercial Bank. I'll walk a bit.\" I kept walking but there was no car like hers. She called, i called back....we were almost fighting. She was angry, I was also upset. We meet at last.

We went to pick Amel, she's another lady who helps young girls who lost their parents with HIV. She rented apartment to them, she feed them, buy cloth and pay the school fees. She has also adopted child in her house. She trains women making paper beads, baking pastry, cake, making soaps. She and i was not able to communicate at all. She was not giving me the direction of her place in a very confusing way.

\"Thank you, I'm going home.\" She said in the middle of the conversation. She hung up one me, i had to call back and wait patiently. We found her and we drove a bit to meet the others.

I asked the guy who came from Elilta Women and Children home to tell me his plate number. I call the other two ladies, Assi and Mekdes to go to his car. Assi fall down and hurt her knee very bad when she goes to his car. We thought Leina's house was by the hill and Assi parked her car at the hotel we meet and they followed us.

Aster, founder of Love for all/FIkir Hulegeb /, left her cellphone at home and came to the hotel. She call us after we arrived at Leina's.

Assi is a former IMF Micro Economist, worked more than thirty years in America with all the big financial organizations. She's a board member of a bank at home, owner of a gallery, she's a facilitator for girls who is going to join University, she's working on empowering women by herself. She traveled to more than 90 countries.

The three NGOs, work on women and children. They're trying to bring women from the streets and to stop prostitution. They support their children.

We have got thirteen powerful members from the two sessions. We will hear many stories from them one of these days.
