Ethiopia Link at Africa Day Celebrations

25/5/2017

 
Ethiopia Link joined the celebrations for Africa Day, organised by Hub Cymru Africa at the Senedd in Cardiff.  Africa Day is celebrated across the world to commemorate the foundation of the African Union in 1963 - a year when the majority of African countries had gained independence from colonisation.  Of course, Ethiopia was never colonised....

We ran a stall to celebrate and raise awareness of our activities: it was very popular, hopefully not just because of the coffee cakes, made with coffee from raw beans gifted to us on our last visit to Hossana!  The day was supported by many Welsh Assembly Members, including the First Minister, Carwyn Jones, and North Wales AM Mark Isherwood.  There were, of course, lots of other stalls and music from the excellent Zim Voices Choir.  Thanks to HCA and the Senedd for hosting in such a beautiful setting!
