UPDATE ON ADDIS:

Addis is doing very well, and has returned to his family and friends in Ethiopia. Thank you everyone for all your help!

In such a short time, Addis brought together people in Ethiopia and around the world. Everyone has done some part to help him.

He was dancing for joy after the surgery, and teaching the Indian doctors how to dance the Ethiopian traditional dances.

Addis is now being careful about his food, and living conditions. The first year is so important for his long-term survival. An Ethiopian doctor is also seeing him every week.

HOWEVER, THE BATTLE IS NOT OVER;
Addis must return to India two times in the next year for follow-up medical care. Each visit to India is estimated at a cost of 5,000USD. Again, Addis has come so far, but this small next step is far beyond his means.

Again, we ask everyone to help Addis to get the follow-up care that he needs.
