Orphanage Of Sebeta
In 2004, members of FHC traveled to Sebeta, an orphanage located near Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We learned about the programs the orphanage offered, toured the grounds, and met some of the 200 orphans living there. After visiting and learning about the orphans, FHC decided to start an Ethiopian orphanage support program and help out any way that we possibly could.
