Workneh Dechasa Education Foundation
A school for Oromia
Three swimmers accepted the Serpentine challenge on 20th September, followed, the next weekend, by five runners taking on the Vitality 10K. Between them they raise almost £5000 for the school in Oromia.
Thanks to them and to all who sponsored them, as well as the team from WDEF who cheered them on and flew the flag from the sidelines.
On the weekend of October 11th Birisa Bedhane Dechasa and Olana Hundessa visited the site near Guder and recorded this video which shows the work that has been done and that which remains. WDEF are in awe of the efforts being made by our partners WADA, and the workers on site to realise Workneh’s vision.
Block A comprises 4 classrooms and will be matched by a similar Block B. There will also be two smaller Blocks for student’s belongings and toilets. Funding for Block C has been donated by Harriet’s Footsteps Charity.
