Korah
Here's a short documentary that explores the current state of one of Ethiopia's poorest villages, the village of Korah and the challenges the people there face every day. The village of Korah is a small village just outside Addis Ababa, the capitol city of Ethiopia. It was founded over seventy five years ago by people inflicted with leprosy, seeking treatment in Addis. Three generations later, over 100,000 people live in Korah, most of whom have leprosy, HIV/AIDS, are widows or orphans. Their extreme poverty has forced many of the villagers to forage through a local trash dump to find enough food to survive each day.

Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog. I'm adding you to our blog roll and my prayer list. I also wanted to share this link about the adoption tax credit - it has been INCREASED and EXTENDED and it's now fully refundable through 2011! http://taxes.about.com/od/deductionscredits/qt/adoptioncredit.htm
Not to forget this post you made here - Korah will always have my heart, it's an incredible place.
Korah hit us hard when we went. I'm still processing and hope to write more about what we saw. Thank you so much for posting this video. I hadn't seen this before...
Never heard of this place and now I will never forget it. Thank you for posting this. Praying for Korah.
