This year we're celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Ethiopiaid.

Our vision is an Ethiopia in which every person enjoys the right to quality education, healthcare and a life of dignity. This November a group of 20 participants are helping us with this vision and will take on the challenge to raise £3000 each for our partners.

The team will fly out to Addis Ababa to take part in Africa's biggest road race then visit and volunteer with a number of our projects.

Volunteering: The team will assist with and serve the street childrens breakfast, volunteer for Hope Enterprises, visit Dignity Period and deliver a carefully designed needs-based day of activities, games and play therapy at Cheshire Services rehabilitation centre.

The Great Ethiopian Run: We will join 40,000 people in Africas largest road race founded by the legendary Haile Gebreselassie. This is a rare opportunity to participate alongside some of Ethiopia's finest athletes in the home of long-distance running.

Fundraising: The group will also be raising funds for Ethiopiaid to support the work of our local partners.

This is not a holiday, it will be hard work!

This is an opportunity for the team to use the education, stability and good health that we have always enjoyed in the UK to help those who have not had such luxuries. This team challenge will be a mental and physical challenge, aiming to provide funding and assistance to some of Ethiopias poorest and deprived people.
