She was foster mother to more than 400 orphaned children.
When there was no one else, Haregowin Teferra was there.

When I last visited in October 2008 Moses greeted me inside the compound gate.

He, like so many others, had been abandoned outside the gate! A gentle, sweet child.

During coffee ceremony he sat on my lap as if I were his long lost grandfather..
What will happen to this precious child now that she is gone?

Haregowin Teferra 1946 March 17, 2009

We miss you gentle lady
