"I read Annette's inspiring
account with great interest. As well as documenting an exciting,
personal adventure in which she encounters both old friends and
new faces, Annette highlights a number of important issues. She
tells a story of a beautiful country and shows a real insight into
Ethiopia. Annette has honed in on the crucial point about access
to water. As a member of the International Development Select Committee,
which recently conducted an inquiry into water and sanitation, I
know the importance of clean water both to individuals and to a
country's wider development. Annette's commendable dedication to
this cause and her willingness to donate part of the proceeds to
WaterAid will do much to help the people of Ethiopia."
