Happy Birthday SMCF!!

Last week I was invited to go to a reception held by the St. Matthew's Children's fund, Ethiopia to celebrate 25 years of working with their Ethiopian partner JeCCDO.  Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the event but, yesterday I received through the post a copy of the film that they launched.  I've posted it below.

I've been lucky enough over the years to get to know Mulugeta Grebru, JecCCDO's CEO and see the amazing work that these guys do with skill and imagination.  We always include visits to their projects on my study tours and Mulugeta comes and talks to the groups explaining what they do and how they are challenged to do it.  So, let me join many other supporters in congratulating SMCF on their first 25 years and wish them every success in the future.
