Giftii's Fundraising dinners

Workneh's widow Aster Belay (known to her friends as Giftii) is a great cook and caterer, and she has organised wonderful dinners for supporters of the organisation.

Baking for the craft fair

Giftii and Siobhan Crawley, undertook a baking marathon to create a mouth-watering array of cakes to sell at the Crouch End Craft Market, on Saturday 8th June. They raised around £300 but just as important, they talked to customers about Workneh Dechasa Education Foundation and what we aim to do. We also entered the 21st Century by using a card reader to accept donations!

London Landmarks Half-Marathon

WDEF is a charity partner for the London Landmarks Half Marathon, with 5 runners raising funds for us. The runners, who haven't run this distance before, will be trained and prepared by Nicky. We hope they will raise funds for WDEF and extend our group of supporters.
