Eileen's Ethiopian Expedition
Eileen Calverley, Farm Manager of Wroxham Barns' Junior Farm, is about to set out on an expedition into the Ethiopian Highlands, in her role as Ambassador for the charity Send a Cow.The charity assists poor farmers in Africa by providing them with livestock, training and advice.
Eileen will spend two weeks visiting the villages in the Arba Minch area of the country, seeing how the money raised by Send a Cow has been helping the villagers. She will be joined by nine other ambassadors from the charity, and its Ethiopian representative.
Eileen has been involved with Send a Cow for four years, when she became manager at Junior Farm. She has undertaken many profile and fund- raising activities for the charity including introducing a scheme in which a percentage of the money raised through the sale of bags of animal feed at Junior Farm to visitors, goes to the charity. Almost £4,000 has been raised at Wroxham Barns in this way.
