The new website is finally up and running! It has take a long time but I finally made the switch and transferred the new Wordpress site over to For-ethiopia.
Using a fantastic theme by TheMolitor we managed to get some of the old content across and have drafted some new pages. More importantly the Facebook and Twitter feeds link nicely and photos can be drawn in from our Flickr account.
The old site can still be found at www.old.for-ethiopia.com although old links on other sites no longer work but hopefully the new site will quickly update.
We have a couple of events coming up in the next few months, details of which can be found on the website.

Solarsense to team up with For-ethiopia
We are pleased to announce that Solarsense will be raising money for us and plan to go out to Ethiopia to install some solar panels on the health clinics in Addis Alem.
Solarsense have carried our a number of projects overseas for charities and we hope that this could be the start of a long-term relationship.
Staff of Solarsense will be running the Bristol Half Marathon in September to raise money for their trip.
They will also be at Glastonbury this year and have a stand displaying their energy products. They will also be allowing festival goers to charge their mobiles with the pedicab, which is fitted with a solar panel for a donation to For-ethiopia.
Solarsense are installing one of the largest solar installation in the UK at Worthy farm and you can follow their blog here.
