Out of Africa: A Closer Look at Southern Ethiopia

Join us for a trip into far southern Ethiopia where we met some people/tribes that have changed very little over the centuries. In addition to the people, we have pictures that depict their customs and rituals. We will also discuss some of the modern day pressures that are changing their daily lives...often for the worse. This trip opened our eyes and made real many of the things that we have read in publications such as National Geographic. 

Donald and Victoria Pearman have lived in Carefree for 20 years. Victoria has been a Desert Foothills Library volunteer for 17 years. One of Donald's hobbies is retiring. After 57 years of managing large one of a kind defense and science projects, he swears that this summer he is really retiring. Donald and Victoria have traveled to 101 foreign countries and territories.
