Everyone is warmly welcome to an informal chat and slideshow about my time in Ethiopia as a VSO volunteer on Wednesday 29th March at 6:30pm in the East Oxford Community Centre. The pics and talk will focus on an incredible journey across the country to the Sherkole Refugee Camp on the Sudanese border with 28 kids from Debub Nigat Circus.
My 10 months living in Awassa, Ethiopia as a VSO volunteer was an unforgettable insight into a fascinating and proud nation. This talk will look at one of the most amazing weeks of my life when I travelled across the country with a children's circus to perform for the 16,000 people of Sherkole Refugee Camp. It should be a relaxed and, hopefully, engaging chat about my time in the country, in particular the intense emotions of arriving in a refugee camp the day after their leaders signed a peace accord that meant for the first time in over 10 years they could start thinking about returning to their homeland.
All welcome. Free entry, voluntary donation towards the cost of the hall greatly appreciated. Wednesday 29th March 6:30pm.
