5 Million Orphans in Ethiopia

I just read the statistic that 5 million orphans live in Ethiopia, according to this Newsweek article. Its hard to make such a large number seem personal and real. It's hard to put a face to each child -- each girl and boy without a mom and dad.  5 million is more than twice the population of Houston. While I'm thrilled to be adopting, I'm still looking for a solution that would address the bigger issue of orphans in Ethiopia, orphans in the world.
