Transportation can be difficult in many countries and Ethiopia is no different! In some cases a horse and carriage or a three-wheeled "bajaj" scooter are the best means of transportation.
As we traveled throughout Debre Zeyit, Ethiopia, we realized that the best way to travel once you leave off the primary and only paved road is by horse and carriage or by using a three-wheeled "bajaj" scooter. Since many of the people whom we visited lived off the main road, we either walked or used these alternate modes of transportation to get to their homes. 
We also found that walking was a form of relaxation in that we could really slow down and think about our experiences and how sad that it was to see children and mothers who didn't know where there next meal would come from or whether they would have enough money to pay for shoes for their child. God has really blessed the people of the United States and we have a lot to be grateful for by living in such a great country.
