In a tin-walled compound outside Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a middle-class
woman named Haregewoin Teferra suffers terrible personal losses. In
grief, she turns to the church, and is presented with two orphans and
asked to house them. Haregewoin agrees. Once she opens her gate, she
never manages to close it again. Here is a woman who does not run away
from HIV-positive and AIDS-orphaned children, brought to her on foot, by
bus or by donkey cart. There are over a million AIDS orphans in
Ethiopia; There Is No Me Without You tells a few of their remarkable
stories through the eyes of a woman whose own life has been altered by
them.
