The Entoto Foundation recently spoke to Dr. Einar Eriksen while he was visiting his home country of Norway. Dr. Eriksen, a burn specialist, has been working in Ethiopia for much of his career and explains why burns are much more prevalent in Ethiopia and other developing countries.

A BIG thanks to Rob Skubiak and family who raised over $7000 for the Entoto Foundation at this year's Reindeer Run in Orlando! All proceeds from their efforts will benefit Dr. Einar Erikson and his burn center in Addis Ababa. Well done and much appreciated!

Ashenafi is from south Ethiopia. In 2012, he sustained a terrible flame burn injury after his small shop was put on fire. For 3.5 years, this young man of 19 was moved from one hospital to another. He was admitted to Dr. Erikson's burn clinic in November 2014 where he was fed a high caloric diet for 2 weeks before the first surgery. Ashenafi had been bedridden for more than 3 years and was thin and emaciated. Six weeks after admission with 3 skin graft procedures, Ashenafi was up moving and smiling.
