Our History<\/p>\n

What unites us<\/em><\/h2>\n\n

\u00c9cho d\u2019enfance did not arise from an abstract idea. It arose from a connection\u2014the one that binds us to Ethiopia, the country where we grew up before being adopted, and to the families we visit there regularly.<\/p>\n\n

This project is our own. Not to pad a r\u00e9sum\u00e9, not just to check a box. But because we know the people, the needs, and the reality on the ground\u2014and we couldn\u2019t just sit idly by.<\/p>\n\n

\n

The association is independent, non-partisan, and neutral. Our activities focus exclusively on our educational and cultural mission. The personal views of our members outside the association are their own and cannot be associated with \u00c9cho d\u2019enfance.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

In short<\/h3>\n

We move forward with determination, with both feet on the ground, and with all our hearts.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
