Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am participating in volunteering work with Hanna's orphanage, s small charity set up to help vulnerable children of Ethiopia. The orphanage itself was started by a lady called Hanna Teshome who was asked to look after a young orphan.  From this point, the orphanage has grown over the years and now supports around 300 children.  The charity raises money to support the orphanage in any way it can, be that maintenance of the orphanage building itself to providing pens, books and games for the children to learn and play with.   All donations are used according to the direct needs and knowledge of the orphanage and it's organisers so all your donations will be going directly to those who know best how it can help.   <p style="border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; line-height: 19px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">In August of 2012 I will be travelling to Addis Ababa with 3 other volunteers for two weeks to work with the children at Hanna's Orphanage.  I feel a great privelage to be given the opportunity to get involved with such a deserving charity and to be able to return to Ethiopia and meet the charities organisers and children face to face. <p style="border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; line-height: 19px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">So I ask that if you can spare any donations to go towards this great cause, they would be gratefully appreciated!  Please spread the word about this page so that others can join in on the cause. <p style="border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 14px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; line-height: 19px; color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Thanks in advance!
