Temesgen (Teme) and his family were banished from his father’s home. In Ethiopia, Africa, some cultures consider it acceptable to take more than one wife. Teme’s mother was not his father’s first wife; consequently, when things soured she was dispelled and unequipped to adequately provide for her family.
The fire that swallowed his family’s makeshift hut also maimed Teme, rendering his left leg useless. Begging became the means to feed his family, and Teme spent the next years crawling from town to town asking strangers for spare coins and scraps of food. The struggles that ensued would have led most to abandon hope, but the kindness of a stranger caused Teme to yearn for more!
Propelled by his newfound craving for kindness, Teme never gave up! As a result, his ability to overcome whatever life throws his way will lead us to a greater understanding of what we, too, can accomplish when we never lose hope.
