Muhammad Brings Children HomeOn the dusty streets of Addis Ababa, a city in central Ethiopia, it's not unusual to see children of all ages running around barefoot. A country staggered by famine, drought, and the after-effects of civil war, Ethiopia has a high population of orphans who struggle daily for life on its streets. Most of these children lack the essentials they need to live: warm clothing, clean water, and enough food. The sight of these children moved one little boy to action. When six year old Muhsin Muhammad Jr., the son of the Chicago Bear wide receiver with the same name, saw an Ethiopian child without shoes, he stopped, took off his own shoes, and gave them to the boy.

Traveling with an aide and accompanied by a high-ranking Guatemalan official, the Senator spent 2 hours touring the home and playing with many of the orphans living there. Orphans are close to the Senator's heart, and adoption is a key issue for him, as evidenced by his role as co-chairman of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption. His visit to Guatemala was intended to build bridges between the countries and advocate for the completion of adoptions in process. |
