The Great Ethiopian Run is the largest road race in Africa with almost 40,000 people taking part. My trip to Ethiopia will be with a group of 30, and will include visit to Orphanages, cultural nights, taking part in the run, and visits to Self Help Africa projects where I will get to see how my fundraising impacts on African Families there. The average wage is 13€ a month.
