Ethiopia

Hamar woreda (the Hamar homeland) (approximately 1,500 square miles) is a two-day drive from the capital, Addis Ababa. It is a beautiful but arid area, laced with acacia trees and thorn bushes. Little grows in the dry sandy soil. In most of the woreda, there are few roads, no electricity, no cell phones and no internet service.
