Whenever I take a picture of or with one of our Abesha summer staff, they always ask, “Abesha or Foreignji?” This simple question is absolutely hilarious to me. Every time Ethiopians get their pictures taken they either have blank look on their face or they look almost angry. So when they ask “Abesha or Foreignji?”, they are really asking if they should smile for the camera :) Below are two photos of some of my favorite summer staff – one Abesha and one Foreignji.
