ECDC 5K Run/Walk

The Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC) held a 5K Run/Walk race as a fundraiser to further their work assisting refugees to the United States. It was critically needed in light of the recent drastic cuts to foreign aid, refugee relief, and immigration by the current administration.

Over 200 people participated. A tasty breakfast was provided by the Pike's Dama restaurant and the Bethel Cafe. Post-race entertainment was provided by the great Malian musician Cheick Hamala Diabate and his Griot Street Band.

Special thanks to Dr. Tsehaye Teferra, Ezana Teferra, and Kidist Ebenezer.
