Poverity is rife 1 in Ethiopia. The United Nations ranks it amongst the poorest countries in the world. For many, the Nile is the source of hope and salvation 2. It was humbling 3 to witness the strength of their belief. -Some people might think that worshiping a river or just the source of the river sounds a little bit of exotic. Shall we say? This river is a life-giver. It provides water for and irrigates 4 the fields of tens of millions of people. So to me, in any way, it makes perfect sense to celebrate any worshiping. 


-We are from the Nile.


The source is mroe than 8,000 feet above the sea level. As it trickles 5 and tumbles down hill, the water widens into a river, as it's joined by more streams from the highlands. 


-Thank goodness! It's grown a bit already.


Since more than a million people died during drought and famine in Ethiopia in the 1980s, many think of this is a dry country. But during the rainy season, this river will swell 6 ten fold. Ethiopia provides more than 80 percent of the total flow of the Nile.
