Thanks again to Dave Morin who is completing a make-over on our web site. It reflects our work in Addis and has lots of interactive buttons, pictures and a blog for all to use. Cannot wait to have it up and running. It is much more user friendly and really looks great. Thanks Dave!
For all the Club Ghion members…please feel free to blog on this site. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Carol and Club Ghion members,
It’s great to hear about all the progress happening at Selamta! To the lucky ladies traveling in April – this trip will change your lives. My daughter, Audrey and I joined Carol and crew last summer. I will probably always have trouble putting into words how meaningful this experience was for both of us. Some of the thoughts I came away with include my awe for Carol and her dream/action, the concept that one individual CAN make a difference, the resiliency of the human spirit, and how music and laughter can equal joy. I know I’ll return, hopefully someday soon. In the meantime I am lucky enough to have the joy of the Selamta family in my life.
Amaseganalo,
Leslie Johnston
Dear Carol and Mike,
