After watching the Brad Pitt’s interview, I wanted to email him thank him for the work that he is doing to help my people in Ethiopia. I was heart broken to see the kind of condition that they were living in. I myself along with my brothers and sister was adopted from that same location. I thank God for bringing me here to America and for letting me have life. I hope someday I can go back and help my people. I am glad that a true American like Brad Pitt has decided to help these needy desperate people. I know he will be rewarded greatly for his work abundantly. I hope and pray that America’s eyes will be open and the American people will be open to help. Thank you Brad Pitt. I wish I could share my whole adoption with you but unfortunately I don’t see that happening. I hope you get this or whoever reads this will tell you how grateful I am for your willingness to help my people. Thank again and may God bless you for all your work. Sincerely, Genet 18
