Welcome to Blog Hurso!

Hey! This is where you can follow Ian and I as we spend a year in Hurso, Ethiopia. For those of you who aren't familiar with what what we are doing, here's a little bit of background.

Ian and I are interning for a year with Global Hope Network International(GHNI) in the northeastern part of Ethiopia in a small village called Hurso. GHNI is a Geneva-based humanitarian organization that is works with some of the poorest people groups in the world, helping villages transform themselves through sustainable development. Their TCD(Transformational Community Development) training and curriculum fosters ownership by using locally-available resources and takes a holistic approach to development in order to create a healthy community.

Our role in Hurso will be to work with GHNI's Ethiopian staff as we train and equip local leaders to begin development projects and help bring their village out of poverty. Ian and I will be regularly posting on our progress, so check in to hear the latest stories from Hurso.
