Welcome, Ethiopia & Eritrea RPCVs!

Ethiopia still needs your help.

 

The turmoil in Ethiopia no longer makes the headlines, but the humanitarian crisis continues. Ethnic conflicts, internal and external refugee displacements, drought, famine, and Covid-19 plague the country. So it is clear that we need to renew and expand our fund drive to help the people of Ethiopia.

E&E RPCVs needs you!

 

Given the amazing response we received for our Tigray Relief Fund and looking to the future, the E&E RPCVs Board of Directors believes it is time to expand the group’s focus beyond its traditional role as a connecting point between E&E RPCVs, its longtime Legacy Program, and recent humanitarian relief activities. To do this, we plan to use the Zoom/virtual meeting medium to attract your active participation, but for us to implement it, we need volunteers to serve on committees and new board members.
