WQC helps Addis Kidan Baptist Church

More photos added.

Colin and Ellen Jackson spent two years working with VSO in Debre Birhan, Ethiopia. They formed a link with Addis Kidan Baptist Church while they were there. When they returned to Ethiopia on a visit they took with them gifts from Woodbridge Quay Church which are being used by the church in Debre Birhan to benefit the community there.

Addis Kidan Baptist Church has received funds from WQC to provide relief aid to the poorer families in Debre Birhan. Recently nine members of our church have visited Debre Birhan to meet the church there and see for themselves how the aid is being used. Here are some photos of the visit.


Our members took money with them from the church and used it to buy grain which was distributed to the 50 poorest families.


Each family got enough grain to last one to two months, depending on number of children.


Some of the families we support.


Some of the Woodbridge party went to a school, where the children were pleased to see them.


This picture shows the children of the supported families.


Ipswich Town Football Club generously donated over 100 football shirts. These were given to needy children in the town of Debre Birhan.
