Here is a video from the website for the Mesgana Dancers, which is a group of adorable Ethiopian girls who do a dance tour every year in the U.S. The dancers are affiliated with the Children of Ethiopia Education Fund (COEEF) which is aimed at improving the lives and futures of girls in Ethiopia through education. It is an great video and undoubtedly a great cause! Many people in our local Ethiopian adoption group are planning to go see them and so are we. We feel spoiled because it appears as though they only have a half a dozen stops in the US and two are in our area! Probably because there is a huge Ethiopian population here. Can't wait to see them. For those of you who have already been to Ethiopia and perhaps dined at Fasika, the dancing will remind you a bit of the evening there!!!! :) Good memories...

Hello,
My name is Susanna and I am (almost) 16 years old. My family just returned home from Ethiopia a little less than three weeks ago with my adorable 18-month-old sister. I was interested to see this post because we, too, went to Fasika while we were there, and loved it- in fact, I have a video of the dancers there posted on my blog right now! I think we made a mistake in ordering there though- we ordered three servings of the chicken, which consisted of one small piece immersed in sauce. But we loved the dancing and atmosphere!
Both of your girls are absolutely adorable. I can't wait to read more about and see more pictures of your family!

Hi there! Found your blog a while back and keep meaning to comment.Your daughters are beautiful! We live on the Eastern Shore and are in the beginning stages of adopting from Ethiopia. would love to maybe email or talk sometime about your experience-- are there many others near you all that have adopted from Ethiopia? There is nobody on the Eastern Shore yet....Also thinking about getting tickets to see these girls....God Bless!
These kids were on our plane!! I am so sad that they weren't coming to Texas. They were beautiful!!
These girls were on our plane coming back to Washington on Friday. They are ready to dance!
