Our ONE advocates continually amaze us with their wisdom, commitment and compassion. Parent bloggers and ONE Moms Christine Koh of Boston Mamas and Asha Dornfest of Parent Hacks, are no exception. They just published a book inspired by their blogs, Minimalist Parenting, which serves as a guidebook for today’s parents who are suffering from information overload.
Enchanting is the word I would use to describe Ikenna Azuike’s entertaining video blog, Whats Up Africa. When it comes to seeking knowledge about Africa, your average news channel is likely to only highlight some of the unfortunate struggles that Africa faces today. Few people actually know about the heavy metal following in Botswana, or the fact that the Harlem Shake is really based off an Ethiopian dance called the Eskista. It’s also unlikely that your favorite news broadcaster will dress up in a crazy costume to present the corruption of an African President, let alone refer to the pope as “pimpin”.
ONE Regional Faith Organizer Joe Mason recently traveled to Ethiopia to document a faith-based aid and development program.

Hello, friends! It’s been a long time, hasn’t it? Too long, I’ll wager. When last we spoke, I was waxing poetic about why I love international travel, right before leaving for an epic journey to Ethiopia at the invitation and expense of The One Campaign. Since then, I’ve had a full course of malaria medicine,
It seems that I can’t stop talking about Ethiopia. Maybe that was the plan all along. Maybe the thing about allowing this kind of travel to change a person has manifested itself in an ALL ETHIOPIA ALL THE TIME theme with me. Whatever it is, I am going with it. On our travels we got
The highlight of my visit to Ethiopia had to be visiting the various schools and childrens’ homes that were a liberal part of our agenda. Here’s a pro tip: if you’re ever in a country that feels completely foreign, find a spot where there are children, and close your eyes. There is something so universal
ONE Mom Diana Prichard traveled with ONE to Ethiopia this October. This piece, originally published on Righteous Bacon, is part of our ongoing coverage of the trip. Since returning from Ethiopia I’ve felt a bit like my wheels are spinning. I have a lot to say, but am unsure how to say it. I have a lot to do, but
Since returning from Ethiopia I’ve felt a bit like my wheels are spinning. I have a lot to say, but am unsure how to say it. I have a lot to do, but am unsure how to do it. I’m so small and the world is so big. And yet, I’m so big and the
The last Friday when I was in Ethiopia I met a man that I will remember for the rest of my life. This was a kind man with a warm and giving heart, a man that tells me he can relate to the children of the slums, for he too grew up in Ethiopia. Gebeyehu

I am so incredibly honored (and humbled, big time) to be featured in Clem Richardson’s beautiful tribute to the ONE moms and our trip to Ethiopia in the New York Daily News. I only wish there were links to the 13 other brilliant women I kept raving about who were there with me, and each
Last month, I had the privilege of traveling to Ethiopia as a guest of the ONE Campaign. I made the journey with a delegation of remarkable moms from the United States (ONE Moms) and the United Kingdom (ONE Mums).
