Back to Ethiopia
After nearly 3 months being back in the UK, next week I´m finally heading back to Ethiopia and my VSO placement in Mekelle. So looking forward to getting back, especially because I will be working on a new project building 2 new computer labs for the Engineering and Health Sciences faculties. The labs are being funded by the Spanish government and we´re running a pilot project over the next year to build the labs and initiate a new elearning training programme for both teachers and students.
Other good news is that my VSO placement has been extended for an extra 6 months, my original contract was due to run until Sept ´09 but now I won´t be back until March or April next year – giving you extra time to arrange a trip over to visit!
With this in mind, I´ve now increased my JustGiving fundraising target by 50%, in line with the increase to my contract! All donations to help support the work of VSO in developing countries is very much appreciated
