It’s been an interesting and challenging few months but a pandemic doesn’t stop progress. Ethiopia has not escaped the pandemic, but so far, its effect has not been as devastating as predicted.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but seeing first hand through your own eyes is a thousand times better. How to describe what I witnessed with my eyes? You are reading this, not seeing directly, but perhaps through words and a couple of photos, I can give you an approximate sense of my experience.

On Tuesday, December 18th we finally opened the first phase of our school - the first four classrooms and the loos! Kit bags of resources were carried in by truck - the 40km journey from the nearest main town. The UK flag was raised above the heads of 212 pupils wearing their smart new red and black uniforms. 

Our four year project is now one year into its journey. We are still looking to raise £150,000 in order to take the school to pupils aged 14. We are therefore looking for large organisations interested in sponsoring us or individuals who feel able to contribute. If you know of any organisation or individual please let us know!
