Leaving a part of my heart in Ethiopia #ONEMums

ONE Mum blogger Michelle Pannell traveled to Ethiopia with ONE this October. This piece, originally published on Mummy from the Heart, is part of our ongoing coverage of the trip.

It has been the most intensive week ever, I cannot even remember anything like it before and I expect I may never experience it again but I swear I’ll never forget this or the people of Ethiopia and I so want to come back. I’d be so proud of them to come back in 10/15 years time and see the progress – because I know 100% that things will have moved on massively.

I am a little bit overwhelmed, tearful and tired right now, so this post will be my last for a day or so and I just wanted to share my week with you in photos. I’ll try and cut down the 561 photos that I have taken down to a managble number for this one post. All photos shared here were taken by me or with my brilliant little iPhone. (Note: To see all of Michelle’s wonderful photos, please visit the original post.)

You are all awesome (yes I have gone all American but still with a very British accent) and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for getting to know who @ONEcampaignUK is. If you can lend your voice, via petitions, emails, social sharing, blogging or even 1 simple RT then you are doing better than most people in the world, and congratulations, YOU are making a difference joining the fight to end extreme poverty.

If anyone is not sure who ONE is or what they do and you want more information, in easy to understand language then email me and I’ll help. Love you all lots, Mich x
