A good time was had by all...


and old friends were reunited at our AAI Summer Gathering last weekend at Warm Beach Camp in Stanwood, WA. I'll post more pictures soon but here are a few from my own camera. It was just wonderful to see families and children re-connecting with old friends and making new ones. For me, it was particularly gratifying to see all of the wonderful teenagers, many of whom spent time together at Layla House. It's so valuable for them all to share experiences and I'm glad it seems like so many of them are staying in touch here in the U.S.

Everyone loved the cultural drumming and dance sessions.....











Just a few of our older Ethiopian teens and an American friend too...


Future supermodels in the fashion show....













The Little and Hehn girls' hair-braiding sessions were also a huge hit.

and not just with Ethiopian kids...
