 So arriving to Hopethiopia we got the opportunity to meet some of the staff that works at Hopethiopia. Met the ladies that work in the kitchen whose name are, mimi, gannet. The children's village director, Megersa, who is super kind and takes us into town to get money out of the ATM or takes us soft drinking, the drinking of malt, or coffee drinking. Then there's a man by the name of Mango, not even kidding that is his name. This man is the most open hearted, respectful, kindest, coolest, most boujee, so loving man I will get the privilege to meet! 

Just a little background on what he actually does for Hopethiopia, Mango's what you call a social worker. Your probably asking now what the heck is that exactly. Well a social worker is someone who helps the community, someone who helps the people keep things in order around the base and helps with whatever needs to be done. Mango does a stellar job and what he does for the kids and for Hopethiopia, it is so awesome to see how he loves the kids, how he loves and respects the staff at Hopethiopia, and how he loves the racers that come through Ethiopia. 

    So now you know him little better, now I can talk about what makes this man so "boujee" as he would say, every time mango sees me around campus he screams, "boujee brother, I love you so much!" Mango is the sweetest guy ever and he never fails to make me smile and laugh. Whenever we go soft drinking, we have the best times ever! Like one time, it was me mango tex ( Hannah kellar go check out her blogs), Val, other Hannah, Chelsea and Chelsea ( go support them) anyways we were walking back to base and Hannah Keller trend to grab a goat and the goat got on his back two legs and mango and me started laughing until we cried!!
