We hope this finds you all well in your respective corners of the Globe.  As of late Ethiopia (along with the rest of the World) seems to be in a "funk" (to put it midly), thus, today we though we would provide a short example of what can happen even during the hardest of times.  About one month ago One Love Theater took "Adventures in OneLoveLand" on the road to a Ethiopia's only prison for children located in Addis Ababa.  It was One Love's second performance at the prison and despite the bitter cold and a night-time performance we were greeted as warmly as ever by the 100+ child-inmates.  After our dusk arrival the first priority was to set up the road-stage with the residents anxiously peering from their "rooms"... 

...then OLT brought the OneLoveLand spectacle...






...as the show closed to applause and thank you's on the eve of one of Ethiopia's biggest holidays (Fasika) we packed up the stage then several of the children remarked "thank you, you made it seems like the holidays nobody's done that in a while".  Enough said. 



One Love, One Fight.
