Each year we have an area of focus, and this years campaign is 'Year of Reading'.
Exeter Ethiopia Link is committed to supporting education in Nekemte (West Ethiopia) from early years through to university level. Our previous fundraising campaigns - The Year of the Librarian and The Year of the Girl – provided vital support for students and teachers in Nekemte and surrounding areas and this year we are focusing on the relationship between literacy and education by launching The Year of Reading.
By providing books and supporting librarians, children of all ages will have the chance to become better readers. Some will enjoy reading just for the sake of it, for many it will give them improved skills to follow written instructions, read signs and notices and enhance their employability, but most of all, improved reading skills will underpin overall educational achievement.
The Role: We are looking for a dynamic volunteer to get involved in this year’s ‘Year of The Reading’ project. You will be working with a small team of other volunteers here in the UK to help coordinate, inspire, raise awareness, and link up with other partners for this year’s focus. Hours to suit you. No experience needed, just your passion but IT skills useful and the ability to join meetings via Zoom. Please contact [email protected] to find out more.
