Rediet joined Y’tesfa Birhan in August. She accompanied her friend on our first meeting and has continued to attend ever since. At the Gibsha before Christmas she and mum asked if we could pay for her dad’s eye operation. They brought along the invoices which seemed genuine so they received the money. Sadly the operation, originally for possible glaucoma, was not a success and the raised pressure inside his eye worsened. Both parents are HIV positive and prone to health problems.
