Childrens Orphanage Africa- Ethiopia

Words cannot express the emotions I am overcome by after my time at the Childrens Orphanage in Africa. I am so grateful that i was able to help these children- but I am also devastated at the lifestyle that these children must live. While i was able to donate funds from The Edwin Riddle Memorial Fund and Spend time with them. The children at the Orphanage have either lost both parents or their fathers. In the case where they have only lost their father- they are allowed to stay at the Orphanage if their mother is homeless and can not afford to feed them. In some circumstances, the Orphanage will allow the mother to live there as well. It is my mission, win or lose Miss International to go back with even more funds and be able to make a huge impact in the lives of these children. There is absolutely no reason that any child should have to go hungry or cold because of the loss of a parent.
