It looks like a wonderful place to grow up.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 But if you stay in the village long enough, you start to notice the looks t= hat Fasil and Ezana (and their family) receive. A lingering look that sugge= sts: You don=E2=80=99t belong here.=C2=A0 =C2=A0 All because t= hey=E2=80=99re Christians.
