Such a great cafe! The staff are very nice and check on you often, and a great selection of food to…read morechoose from! I had the Kikil, tender meat on rice and the warm beet salad. Good combination of flavors and the Ethiopian theme. This is a great place for apprentices to gain new skills and services. Most of the seating are outside the cafe in the mall area, but it is well attended to by the waitstaff. It is also nice to read through people's postings outside the windows of the cafe, where people share stories, poems, photos and more. This has a greater meaning of ubuntu.

My son has applied for a job here 4 times in past year hasn't been hired yet I go in this place…read morewith my son couple times a week to shop and I'm always seeing new faces working there someone told me my son is the wrong color I didn't believe that was the reason but I'm starting to believe it now my son is Caucasian. The person that told me he was wrong color does not work there.

So, last week my husband took some clothing items to VV along with a Rae Dunn item for Thanksgiving…read moreand a custom framed watercolor print. The print was cushioned by clothing items and he told the person who received the items that there were some fragile items. The worker said he would be careful, but couldn't guarantee how tge items would be handled by others. Sure enough, I saw the watercolor I donated up for sale. The frame and glass were broken by other workers. It is now in a cheap, paint peeled off, wooden frame. I know you all get alot of donations on a daily basis. Might I suggest you treat all items like they were your own? It's a shame that some don't seem to have respect for donated items. I wonder how many other items have ended up being destroyed? I would recommend only because they do have some good items and that's it.

The donor tour is an incredible experience! I feel like they take you to Africa; literally! So…read morecool. They got an A- from Charity Watch Here, I began my own inward journey. And I'm thankful to World Vision for that. A lot of donors don't actually know what they do... World Vision builds small area development projects about 20,000 people large in really bad areas. So if a war breaks out in Somalia and the leaders of Somalia who receive rations from the UN can't get water to the people, World Vision might step in and drill a well if it gets bad enough. The "I" tells you before the son and the sun were I was and we were in the father as the father is in Jesus and Jesus is in me. However, these stars were stars of their own show in heaven and so it was like that when I worked here. But I can tell you more about that later. Sadly, there's no "I" in World Vision anymore. Don't worry. You are. Truly truly I tell you even if you give because when you give the weight of your heart is lightened because my burden is easy. Even when you're afraid, my beloved sons and daughters, to trust that faith entered into the mind equals your heart overflowing with hope and that hope, when knowledge converts to brotherly affection, in a life full of love on earth and doing good because good spiritual forces in heaven fuel heaven as plant food expedites the creation of good fruit. And because donating to God is good. And this action - donating, is an action that task oriented Jesus followers, faithful World Vision followers, like you, rightfully believe is fueling the faith it takes to find knowledge and the pursuit of heaven, which will keep the spirit of Jesus alive in the kingdom here on earth for years to come. So give!!!

We have been donors for over 15 years. I was evaluating my giving options and decided to stop…read morehere. We originally signed up for a specific child and that child aged out of the program then they auto set us up for another one, then another - no specific opportunity on our part in the selection process, we decided to stop. Well - that is VERY hard to do! First off you can't do it in the system - there isn't an Auto stop feature, you are required to call in, then there are scripts about the impact on the person you sponsored to attempt to retain. The call to stop took just over 7 minutes, the chat feature took about 2 minutes. If you sign up here be prepared to have to call in - which is actually nice to deal with a human so I did 2 stars for that.

Before we walked in this building, the lady at the front gave us the biggest scowl through the…read morewindow. She refused to talk to us or make eye contact, answering a phone call as soon as we walked in. We were trying to see if we could drop off two stray kittens here, and if not, if we could be pointed in the right direction. Someone else steps in and asks the people behind the desk why they weren't helping, they just shrugged and pointed to the woman making a phone call. This person gave us advice, thankfully, but told us that since we took the kitties in, we've "assumed care of them" and need to pay a fee to surrender them. These aren't our cats, so we didn't do that. They told us to go to Seattle Animal Shelter. This was a frustrating experience since we really would love for these kitties to go to a loving home. We thought a place called BurienCARES would be a lot more helpful, but instead we were met with discrimination. I talked to somebody else who had a similar experience trying to drop off a stray kitten, but was treated with sharpness and judgement. ALSO -- I recommend giving the article about this place on B-Town Blog a read. It's called "Claws come out over Burien CARES as city council debate deepens" written by Mellow Detray.

I'm not sure what to say about this place. Our first impressions of this place was not good due to…read morethe absolutely overwhelming smell of excrement. It was so incredibly bad. I tend to believe that people who animals are wonderful and I'm sure these people are. We adopted a young cat. They said it was a year old. It turned out to be much younger. We took her to the vet 2 days later. She was infested with tapeworms. Soooo.. We love our new cat. I choose to believe that these people are doing the best they can. Maybe they need more help or a marketing person. If they could get a handle on the smell. I'd be game to help. Thank you for all you do. Miz Kilmousky

Dec 21 I went into the AVHS looking for a new forever friend. this was not the first stop in my day…read morebut it was the last when I laid eyes on "Nova". I held her and knew I wanted to take her home. I was provided a reasonable sum of money to adopt her and decided to proceed. when I asked what the process would be another employee came in at which time the process was reviewed and I was told the cost would $500 for her (she was a pup)! this was way outside my budget and I certainly would have said yes knowing the outcome of pocket. when my daughter and I mentioned that was not the price quoted we were told that there was nothing they could do. so I left. 1 hour and tears later I turned around and spent money I shouldn't have. "nova" was anticipated to be a small breed (24 pounds or less) wiener mix. Fast forward. "Nova" is now Magnolia/Maggie she is 35-40 pounds and shows every trait of a coon hound. Ending: over paid for a puppy after being quoted a lower price (yes I went back and paid it) that is bigger then I wanted and a breed that doesn't really work in an office due to the whining, howling and need for activity. oh and did I mention that they forgot to send her home with meds for after spay and wanted me to drive back from Yelm to Auburn? nice facility. disorganized. Not willing to follow through in incorrect pricing quotes.
