Ethiopian Christmas party at ECDC - 37th year (portraits and a coffee service)

The Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC), holds an annual community festival to celebrate the end of Christmas according to Ethiopian Coptic Church practice. ECDC has been hosting this event for 37 years.

Thanks to Dr. Teferra and the capable staff for their much-needed work on behalf of refugees and immigrants, and for the wider Columbia Pike community.

The Columbia Pike Documentary Project will be collaborating with ECDC on a new grant funded by Virginia Humanities. Stay tuned.
