AT THE ADDIS ABEBA’s AIRPORT, WAITING ROOM, BEFORE DEPARTURE TO NYC KENNEDY AIRPORT. I WAS IN GROUP 4, AND MY COUSIN WAS IN GROUP 5.
MY PHONE WAS FOUND BY AN AIRPORT EMPLOYEE WHO TRIED TO RETURN IT TO ANOTHER PASSENGER, GOING TO NY IN THE 9:00 AM PLANE. IT WAS AT THE BOARDING SITE. THAT OTHER PASSENGER HAPPENED TO BE MY COUSIN, AND SHE WAS SITTING NEXT TO ME DURING THE INCOMING FLIGHT. FOR THE DEPARTURE FROM ADDIS ABEBA, I WAS ASSIGNED TO GROUP 4, AND SHE WAS IN GROUP 5
THE PASSENGER, FROM GROUP 5, DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PHONE AND SAID THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW WHO THE OWNER WAS. IRONICALLY, THAT PERSON TURNED TO BE MY COUSIN WITH WHOM I WAS TRAVELING FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I REPORTED THE LOST TO THE SERVICE CREW . TWO OF THE YOUNG LADIES HELPED ME SEARCH AND REPORTED THE LOST TO A MALE EMPLOYEE WHO CAME TO SEE ME DURING OUR FIRST STOP IN IVORY COAST.
HE REQUESTED MY PERSONAL INFORMATION, AND I GAVE HIM MY NAME, HOME ADDRESS, E-MAIL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER
THE PHONE WAS STILL CHARGED WHEN I ARRIVE TO BOSTON FRIDAY MORNING.
