The Hanna’s Orphanage fundraising gig raised over £500, which may not sound a lot, but in the current economic situation, I think we can be happy! So thank you again to everyone who donated, attended, told friends, or bought raffle tickets. We really appreciate it, and hope you will continue to support us.
The money will be added to other money we’ve raised and will pay the rent on a branch of the orphanage in Hosanna. It will also provide computer skills to the children and staff in the orphanage, as well as to some children from the local community.
It’s not too late to donate – just go to www.hannasorphanage.org.uk and pay via paypal (you don’t have to have a paypal account to do this) or you can send a cheque to the address on the website.
About Me
- Jenny
- In July 28th 2008, I left behind a perfectly good job, flat and life (!) and moved to Ethiopia for ... well, for a variety of different reasons, some selfish, some not. I spent 15 months there, based in Addis and in Lalibela, and this blog was started to chart my ups and downs and the work Hanna's Orphanage and LEAP do there. I no longer live in Ethiopia, but I still visit two or three times a year and continue to work on my charity, Hanna's Orphanage, as well as with others, including LEAP and Football Action. You can follow it all here, as well as see how you can help or get involved! (www.hannasorphanage.org.uk /www.myspace.com/hannasorphanage / www.leap-ethiopia.com) And please do get in touch - I will be very pleased to hear from you!!
