One of my neighbors died today, a high school aged boy, in a car accident in Addis. Mourners filled the street outside his house throughout the day and night, wailing at the tops of their voices. My mama tells me that his family has no parents, both having died years ago from illness. It is likely that this boy was the main breadwinner for the family of five children - now four.
