While I was in, one word came to my mind. IMPACT. I saw and felt ENA’s impact on every village we serve. Thousands of children are going to school for the first time, sitting at a desk with paper and pen to write with. Thousands are pumping clean water; thousands have a latrine to use with the knowledge of sanitation and hygiene. I’ve looked into the eyes of 350 orphans who are eager to learn and gave each child a new uniform and school supplies to each one to help them on their learning journey and encourage each child to know they are cared for. Village elders, parents, and students are learning about human trafficking and how to best protect their children and themselves. I was given this opportunity, and I consider it a gift. A gift that has changed my life as well. I see the world differently. I see it through the eyes of each and every child, mother, father, and grandparent. Thousands of eyes have been met, hoping to make this life better, one of hope and heartfelt love and connection.

–Diana Bingham, ENA Director of Operations, Ethiopia
