We held a party on Saturday to celebrate both Ethiopian Christmas and our 3rd year of operation.
Although it was a cold, dark, miserable evening, around 40 people turned up to see our presentation and eat mincepies(!), samosas, and an Ethiopian Flag Christmas cake made by Janet (lots of colouring needed!).
Dudley talked well and explained the projects in Addis Alem that had been completed in 2007 balanced against our funding needs for next year.
A couple of people signed up for regular donations and a lot of donations were made in the collection bucket. All in all, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the Trustees felt a great sense of achievement by the end of.
2007 (year 3) has been a relatively hard one but the successes lead us forward to year 4 with more big ideas!
