Blue Africa [TOP100]
Abushe is a young boy from Jinka, Ethiopia, whom I had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with. I call him the Ethiopian miracle. Afflicted by the Waardenburg Syndrome, Abushe is only 12 years of age. I befriended him while in town and he enquired whether I wanted to meet his mother. Agreeing, he took me on a tuk-tuk drive through the periphery of Jinka. Subsequently, after a long walk we reached his home. My only hope is that Abushe will go back to school and leave street life behind him for good.
