While walking toward our final destination, we passed a school and were all itching to go in. Our guide Mulugeta decided we had some spare time and the reaction of the students was overwhelming.
TESFA (Tourism in Ethiopia for Sustainable Future Alternatives) runs treks through the communities of Meket Woreda, North Wollo. It's a great opportunity to get off the beaten path. We visited villagers at their homes, churches and farms, viewed beautiful highland scenery, and were swarmed by very excitable children at every turnnot one who wanted anything more than to shake our hands.
