Photo work in Ethiopia

My name is Jon Goering, and I am a photojournalism student at KU and senior photographer for the Univ. Daily Kansan. I am going to be spending the summer (May to Aug 2008) with family back in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and I am looking for ideas of photojournalism work to do while I am there. I would GREATLY appreciate advice from the LS community on how to make my summer worthwhile. Just for background, I am a white American but lived for more than 2 years in Addis from 2003 to 2005. I can speak Amharic and get around on my own, but I will also have my wife with me to help. She is Ethiopian and most of her family lives in Addis. I have story ideas, but I am not sure how to even begin marketing them. Thank you in advance to any LSers out there with advice!!
