Now come on, people in Ethiopia aren't starving. Their land is fertile and only when there is drought or flooding do they have problems with hunger.
Mind you, a vast majority of them aren't living in the 21st century, but as long as they don't know that, what difference does it make? Some would even say that's a good thing, actually. For instance, since they aren't used to taking medications for every twinge or slight discomfort, then when something serious comes up and they get medical care that includes medication, their bodies react far quicker and more effectively than they do for us. That also means that a course of treatment for them is shorter than it is for us.
The most amazing thing was on the night we left, we got to witness a group making Aliyah (that's immigrating to Israel). You stand on a partially lit road that's blocked off by the police and over the ridge come 60-70 people, most of the women in traditional dress, carrying their Injera makers (that's their traditional bread) and the little kids on their backs while the men carry their suitcases on their shoulders. An amazing site to see, and mind boggling to think how they're going to cope with all the complexities of living in Israel - but somehow they do (not without problems, however).

| Too bad. If you had done that here, you would have missed this year's unprescidented 2nd snowfall in Jerusalem. Well, it isn't the first time we've gotten more than one snow in a winter - just one of the few times that both snowfalls were heavy enough to stick and keep people home for a day. |
