Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

You have been learning about how Christmas is celebrated in Ethiopia. Here are some of the Christmas cards and letters that are going to be sent to our link school, Ada Model in Debre Zeit, Ethiopia in time for their Christmas and we will be hoping for some replies later in 2013. Well done everyone, they look great!

Merry Christmas- Melkam Genna!!!

Africa United

Africa United is in cinemas now and is a story about three Rwandan children who set off to Rwanda's capital city, Kigali, to audition for the opening ceremony of the 2010 World Cup. They end up on the wrong bus which takes them on a journey through the heart of Africa. Well worth a watch!

Football is the Lingua Franca...

Football fans in East Africa (including my friends in Ethiopia!) will be watching from the sidelines as the World Cup kicks off for the first time on Africa soil. No country from the east of the continent qualified for South Africa. Read more here from BBC news, they simply don't have the investment.



On Wednesday June 23rd we can miss period 5 for England's final group game and buy a ticket to raise money for Link Ethiopia and provide much needed football facilities and support numerous vocational training programs in Ethiopia. We can buy a ticket for 50p and watch the footy.....or we could go to lesson! ;)
