Ethiopian Education Fundraiser, Postponed until later date, TBD.

A note from Tom and Nina:
​Dear Friends,
Due to the uncertainty of the presence of covid-19 virus, the Olympia World Affairs Council has cancelled the March 19 talk on Ethiopia by Jeff Ried. When it is rescheduled we will notify you.

We also believe it is the right to cancel the Ethiopia Education Fund fundraiser at Nina and Tom’s house Friday March 20. Although we were excited about both events we will have to gather at another time.

We encourage you to go to the EEF website, ethiopianeducationfund.org to learn about the EEF program supporting education in rural Ethiopia. See our vibrant program and the successes from 10+ years of work. Watch the video, read student stories, and of course donate if you would like.

This summer the annual EEF Fundraiser in Olympia will be doubly fun as we will be inviting the local chapter of Days For Girls to join us. DFG (daysforgirls.org) sews menstrual pad kits for girls like our Ethiopian students.

Join us then to drink coffee AND participate in putting DFG kits together for world wide distribution and learn and support both programs.

Watch the website "events page" and look for an email when we have dates, place and time established.

Now we want everyone to be safe, be healthy, and enjoy family and friends as Spring brings on its beauty.
