"I was born with a bronze skin and I like it. Some of my friends were born white or black or yellow. They were not consulted. But that's all right. There are yellow roses, white roses, and red roses and the fragrance of one is about as nice as another." ~Chief Walking Buffalo

Waiting for a re-structuring plan

For those of you you haven't been following the unitedfamiliesofimagine.blogspot.com blog, we are anxiously awaiting a re-structuring plan this week. I have no idea what to expect. The creditor's will all get a chance to review the plan and then cast a vote in favour or against. If this is a viable plan I cannot see it failing, but that remains to be seen. We are holding our breathe.
When we began this process last year around this time, I dreamed about sharing this Christmas with our new children. That was probably unrealistic even in ordinary circumstances - I suppose. But I am still keeping the faith. And I am dreaming that next Christmas (2010) we will all be together.

I stumbled upon this video while on youtube. I am posting because this woman's story is similar to the one in the book "There is no me without you" by Melissa Faye Greene. If it was not for brave people like these women, then there would be many more children on the street in Ethiopia.
