Fund Raising  
        Hambleden Valley Ethiopia Project

Our Group of Churches pledged to support St Matthew's Children's Fund, Ethiopia to give care and education to 250 orphaned children and young people in Bahir Dar and education to school children in Debre Birhan.

In 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 we met our target of £30,000 a year, raising our promised £150,000.

We are carrying on fund raising to help the Negede Waitto people but our contributions are no longer pledged.

In the summer of 2004 the Rector, Malcolm Macnaughton, his daughter, and Bart Lacey travelled out to see the projects for themselves. This photo was taken in a villager's house.

In January/February 2007 and November 2008 a group from the Hambleden Valley went to visit some of the projects.
