We just received an e-mail from America World with great news - there is now a doctor on staff at their orphanage, or as we refer to it, the Transitional Home. Here's the brief description in the e-mail:
We are excited to have Dr. Wondwossen Desta join our team as a full time pediatrician at our Transition Home clinic. His past medical experience is broad with extensive experience in pediatric tuberculosis, HIV, and birth trauma. He has also been recognized for his award winning research on Malaria.
Dr. Wondwossen believes in combining his medical skills with his Christian belief and addressing not only a child’s medical problems but also their spiritual and psychological. He is working with all departments at the Transitional Home to ensure that children’s needs are met in all of these areas.
Dr. Wondwossen will be consulting with all Ethiopia families about their adoptive child on "Gotcha day". He stated, “I already care greatly for these children and eagerly look forward to meeting the adoptive families who love them."
Dr. Wondwossen will definitely be an asset to our team!
How wonderful to be able to discuss Rohama's needs with someone who has treated her first hand! Praise God for this wonderful additional to the America World staff! We can't wait to meet him!
