  • One thing that never ceases to amaze me when I am working in the developing world is people’s propensity for making due with what they have by finding multiple uses for simple, everyday objects. This girl in the ancient walled city of Harar, Ethiopia whimsically and I must say beautifully illustrated that for me with her use of an old pot lid as a hat.

  • There are five gates from which every body and every thing moves in and out if in this ancient, walled city. No, I’m not talking about Jerusalem, I’m referring to Harar in Eastern Ethiopia. Similar to Jerusalem are the ancient walls and gates, of course, as it’s status within a major religion as a sacred city. In this case, Islam. Yet another anomaly folded into the fabric of Ethiopia. An ancient, holy, MUSLIM city thriving within a country that claims to be the oldest Orthodox Christian country in the world. <br />
Here we see locals spilling out of Shoa Gate into the Shoa Or ‘Christian’ Market.
